  Negro Hill is a conspicuous rocky hill, double-peaked with a small tarn in between, rising to 100 m at South Beaches on Byers Peninsula, Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. It surmounts Fontus Lake on the south. The area was visited by 19th-century sealers.
  
  The feature was descriptively named Morro Negro (Spanish for "Black Hill") by an expedition from the Argentine Antarctic Program in about 1959.
