Toby Hill (5 November 1915 – 22 January 1977) was an English trade unionist and watersider. He was born in Blantyre, South Lanarkshire, Scotland on 5 November 1915.[1]

He was heavily involved in the 1951 New Zealand waterfront dispute. He stood (unsuccessfully, like all Labour candidates) on the Labour ticket for both the Wellington City Council and Wellington Harbour Board in 1944.
