White Hills is a semi-rural locality and town in the local government areas of Launceston and Northern Midlands, in the Northern and Central regions of Tasmania. It is located about 15 kilometres (9.3 mi) south-east of the city of Launceston. The 2016 census determined a population of 182 for the state suburb of White Hills.

The name is believed to be related to the large number of white cockatoos in the area when it was first settled. It was gazetted as a locality in 1959.[2]
