Elias Hill (c1819 - March 28, 1872) was a Baptist minister and leader of the York County, South Carolina congregation that emigrated to Arthington, Liberia. In 1871 he was one of the victims of a series of attacks in York County against local blacks by members of the Ku Klux Klan. His situation received wide attention on account of his condition, as Hill had been stricken by an illness while a child which had left him crippled with his arms and legs in a withered state. He was known for preaching about rights and equality and taught local children how to read and write.
