'''Negro Hill''' is a conspicuous rocky hill, double-peaked with a small tarn in between, rising to 100 m at [South Beaches](/source/South_Beaches_(Livingston_Island)) on [Byers Peninsula](/source/Byers_Peninsula), [Livingston Island](/source/Livingston_Island) in the [South Shetland Islands](/source/South_Shetland_Islands), [Antarctica](/source/Antarctica). It surmounts [Fontus Lake](/source/Fontus_Lake) on the south. The area was visited by 19th-century [sealers](/source/seal_hunting).

The feature was descriptively named ''Morro Negro'' (Spanish for "Black Hill") by an expedition from the [Argentine Antarctic Program](/source/Argentine_Antarctic_Program) in about 1959.
