Ferny Hills is an outer suburb north-west of Brisbane, Australia, and is located along Samford Road at the edge of the Brisbane Forest Park. Its local government area is the Moreton Bay Region.

Ferny Hills is almost entirely a residential suburb. It contains two primary schools, Ferny Hills State School, which opened in 1970 and is among the last Queensland primary schools to be built in the more traditional high-set format, and Patricks Road State School, which opened in 1977. A high school is also located just beyond its borders in Ferny Grove. There are also convenience centres located on Ferny Way on the southern end of the suburb. Until 2006, a notable feature of Ferny Hills was the Australian Woolshed, which was an Australian farming and wildlife attraction featuring shows and animal exhibits. This has since been demolished and a residential development will be built on the site to meet the needs of Brisbane's growing population.

Transport

The Ferny Grove railway station is on the suburb's southwestern boundary. Ferny Hills was all originally owned by the Willmore family and George Willmore park is named after their son George.
