Ralph Baldridge Hill (21 January 1888 – 11 January 1977) was an Australian international rugby union player.
A Newtown wing–forward, Hill gained national team honours on a 1912 tour of North America, where he made a total of 10 appearances, although none of these were against international opposition. He captained the Metropolitan representative team against a touring NZ Maori team in 1913. His second international opportunity, a 1913 tour of New Zealand, was ruined by an injury sustained before departure and kept him sidelined for the tour's entirety.[1][2]
Hill was a brother of rugby administrator Bill Hill, who served as NSWRU president.[3]
