Chrome /ˈkruːm/ Hill is a limestone reef knoll^[1] on the Derbyshire side of the upper Dove valley. It is adjacent to the more distinctive but lower Parkhouse Hill.

Chrome Hill was declared open access land^[2] under the provisions of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000. However, the only access from the North West remains along a concessionary footpath. Chrome Hill contains good exposures of Gigantoproductus fossils; it is part of a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest^[3] and visitors are asked not to remove geological samples.

Chrome Hill has had songs written in its honour by the Norwegian musicians Sigurd Hole (Chrome Hill^[4]) and Jonas Howden Sjøvaag (Up on Chrome Hill^[5]). In 2008 the Norwegian jazz quartet Damp changed its name to Chrome Hill.
