Brian Alfred Hill (born September 19, 1947) is a retired American basketball coach.

Born in East Orange, New Jersey, Hill graduated from Our Lady of the Valley High School in Orange, New Jersey in 1965 and John F. Kennedy College in Nebraska in 1969 with a degree in physical education. Hill was a three-year starter on the Kennedy basketball team.

In 1970, Hill began his coaching career as head coach at Clifford Scott High School in his native East Orange, New Jersey. Hill then was an assistant coach at Montclair State College from 1972 to 1974. Hill then spent one season as an assistant coach at Lehigh University and served as head coach for Lehigh from 1975 to 1983. In eight seasons at Lehigh, Hill had a 75-131 record; Lehigh's best record under Hill was 14-12 in 1980–81. In 1983, Hill joined head coach Bruce Parkhill's staff at Penn State.

Hill began his NBA coaching career in 1986 as an assistant coach for the Atlanta Hawks under Mike Fratello. The two met at Montclair State College when Hill was studying to be certified as a driver's education teacher. In 1990, Hill joined the Orlando Magic as an assistant coach under Matt Guokas. He was the head coach of the Orlando Magic from 1993 to 1997 and is the Magic's most successful coach with a record of 191–104. During that time period, he led the Magic to their first NBA Finals in 1995 and also led the team to a 60-22 record the following season. However, following the loss of star center Shaquille O'Neal to free agency during the off-season, he was fired mid-season in 1997 after a player revolt was led by disgruntled star Penny Hardaway.
