John Bennett Hill (May 31, 1893 – December 9, 1977) was an American racing driver active in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1922, he won a 100-mile race in Berkeley. He made 66 AAA Championship Car starts, capturing 5 wins and 7 poles.



Hill was a specialist at board track racing — all his wins and poles were recorded on this type of track, which features a racing surface composed of wooden planks. He was credited with 3rd place in the 1923 and 1924 national championships and 4th place in 1926. He started eight times in the Indianapolis 500 and started 5th in 1924 driving a Miller.
