Leonard Raven-Hill (March 10, 1867 - March 31, 1942) was an English artist and illustrator.

He was educated at Bristol Grammar School and the Devon county school, and studied art at the Lambeth School of Art and then in Paris under MM. Bougereau and Aimé Morot. He began to exhibit at the Salon in 1887, and in the Royal Academy in 1889. In 1893 he founded, with Arnold Golsworthy, the humorous and artistic monthly "The Butterfly" (1893-94, revived in 1899-1900). He contributed to many illustrated magazines, and began to work for "Punch", with which he was afterwards prominently associated, in 1896. He illustrated Sir Walter Besant's "East London" (1901) and J. H. Harris's "Cornish Saints and Sinners"; he published the impressions of his visit to India on the occasion of the tour of the prince and princess of Wales as "An Indian Sketch-Book" (1903); and his other published sketch-books include "Our Battalion" (1902) and "The Promenaders" (1894).
