The Hill of Noth is a hill of two rounded peaks in Aberdeenshire. Its highest peak of the Tap o' Noth, on which is an ancient hill fort. The secondary top at NJ498300 is 1,716 feet.

The north-west side of the hill is afforested and in the hands of the Forestry Commission. The south and east look down to Rhynie to the south, at the meeting of the A97 and A941. The Water of Bogie which waters Strathbogie to the north flows northward below the east slope of the hill, receiving waters from the burn in the wee Glen of Noth at the Bogs of Noth, by Oldnoth and Newnoth, while the Kirkney Water flows through the forested slopes, to meet the Bogie lower down.

Climbing the hill to the Tap o' Noth, the walker may wander the many tracks in the woodland, or come up from the hamlet Milton of Noth, north of Rhynie, or there is a car park at Brae of Scurdargue to the west.
