George William Hill (March 3, 1838 – April 16, 1914) was an American astronomer and mathematician.
Working independently and largely in isolation from the wider scientific community, he made major contributions to celestial mechanics and to the theory of ordinary differential equations.
The importance of his work was explicitly acknowledged by Henri Poincaré in 1905.
In 1909 Hill was awarded the Royal Society's Copley Medal, "on the ground of his researches in mathematical astronomy".
Today, he is chiefly remembered for the Hill differential equation.
