Wholhope Hill is a hill amongst the Cheviot Hills, in Northumberland. It reaches 1,847 feet, standing though a little away from the main groups of the Cheviots' higher peaks. The Kidland Forest stretches over the hill's western slopes and beyond.

The hill has a broad, flat top with a number of subsidiary summits. The main summit is Wether Cairn at NT940116, 1,847 feet. St David's Cairn to the east at NT954111 is at 1,067 feet above sea level.

Two of the main source streams of the River Alwin rise on the slopes of Wholhope Hill; the Wholhope Burn and the Allerhope Burn.
