Allen Hill (14 November 1843 in Huddersfield, Yorkshire – 28 August 1910 in Leyland, Lancashire) played in the first-ever cricket Test, taking the first wicket. Hill also went on to umpire in the Test match played at Lord's in 1890.

Hill was a bowler with an approximate roundarm action, which "Wisden" said was "one of the best of its kind that can be recalled".

Hill, who described his profession as being that of a woollen weaver in 1881, had a wife, Ellen, who was three years his junior, and at least three daughters Alice, Kathleen and Gertrude. His playing career ended in 1883, when he broke his collar-bone, but he went on to become an umpire.
