Fool on the Hill is the fourth studio album by Sérgio Mendes and Brasil '66 released in 1968.

This is the first album featuring the second edition of Brasil '66. Mendes replaced all of the original band members (with the exception of lead singer Lani Hall). The dismissed members went on to form a short-lived group, The Carnival, which released one self-titled album in 1969. This is also the first appearance of Gracinha Leporace in a Sérgio Mendes album.

The album features two top 10 pop singles, the title track and "Scarborough Fair".
