Tomlinson Hill is a small unincorporated community in Falls County, Texas, United States. It lies approximately 7½ miles west of Marlin on State Highway 320 and approximately 1½ miles west-southwest of the junction of 320 and State Highway 7.
The Hill (as it is locally known) was named for James K. Tomlinson, a native of Georgia who settled in the area. After emancipation, many of Tomlinson's former slaves took his last name.
Most of the Tomlinsons have since moved from the area, but some remain, and one notable resident returned – the late Oliver Tomlinson, the father of New York Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson.
