Chattahoochee Hill Country is a city in southern Fulton County, Georgia, United States. It is the incorporated part of the region also called "Chattahoochee Hill Country," an area encompassing approximately convert|60000|acre|km2 southwest of Atlanta, bordered on the northwest side by the Chattahoochee River. Unlike the rest of metro Atlanta, it is still relatively undeveloped, and most of its almost-rural character remains changed. The majority of the wider area comprises the west-southwest part of southern Fulton, and smaller adjacent parts of southern Douglas, eastern Carroll, and northern Coweta counties.

During the 2006 session, the Georgia General Assembly passed a law allowing the Fulton section of the area to incorporate as a city (the only type of municipality allowed in Georgia), the purpose being the municipalization of that county, and to allow local residents to have local control of zoning. This has included concentrating development in three planned villages, though the nearby city of Palmetto took one of them for itself, leaving a gerrymander-looking arm of it sticking northwest into the heart of the new city.

In 2007, residents voted on June 19 by an 83% to 17% margin to incorporate the convert|33000|acre|km2|sing=on {130km²) portion within Fulton as the city of Chattahoochee Hill Country, Georgia in a local referendum. Later annexation could incorporate the portions remaining in other counties.

Chattahoochee Hill Country became a city on 1 December 2007, with the first elected officials taking office a few days later.
