Hawkshead Hill is a hamlet in Lancashire, within the Lake District National Park.

The village is to be found along the B5285 road about a mile west of Hawkshead, a tourist village in season, and about four miles by road 9if less as the crow flied) from Coniston, the main village on the shore of Coniston Water.

The head of Coniston Water is about a mile and a half to the south-west, and the Old Man of Coniston, Lancashire's highest point, is four miles to the west. Almost directly to the south is Hawkshead Hill Park.
