Benbrake Hill is a hill of 1,024 ft in Wigtownshire, at the western end of the Galloway Hills.

The hill is forested on its summit and its south slopes. Its wild beauty is somewhat spoilt however by quarrying. Benbrake may be considered a twin top with Wigtownshire's county top, Craigairie Fell, whose summit is a mile to the south-east and which reaches 1,053 ft.
