Helens Hill is a locality in the Shire of Hinchinbrook, Queensland, Australia.
Despite the name, Helens Hill is predominantly flat farming land (approx 20 metres above sea level), well-watered by numerous small creeks and is used for growing sugarcane. Mount Helen, a peak of 220 metres, is within the locality and presumably is the source of the locality's name.
The Bruce Highway and North Coast railway line pass through the locality from the south-east to the north with the locality being served by Pombel railway station. A cane tramway delivers harvested sugarcane to the local sugar mills at Victoria Plantation and Mackenade.
Helens Hill State School opened on 17 August 1931. The school closed on 31 December 2016.
