Tara Hill ("Torrchoill" in Irish) is an isolated hill near the Irish Sea coast in north County Wexford, Ireland. Though only 253 metres high, it dominates the landscape of northeast Wexford. Due to its height relative to the surrounding landscape this mountain qualifies as a Marilyn.

It should not be confused with the much better known but much less prominent Royal Hill of Tara in County Meath, which is only 159 m high.
