Isaac Hill (April 6, 1789 – March 22, 1851) was an American politician and newspaper editor who served as a United States Senator and as Governor of New Hampshire. He was a member of the Democratic Party and supported the policies of President Andrew Jackson.
Hill was born on April 6, 1789 in West Cambridge, Massachusetts (now Belmont). He attended the schools of West Cambridge and Ashburnham, Massachusetts. He was then apprenticed to a printer in Amherst, New Hampshire.
In 1809 Hill moved to Concord, New Hampshire, where he became owner and editor of the New Hampshire Patriot newspaper, which he operated until 1829.
Hill was Clerk of the New Hampshire State Senate in 1819 and 1825.
A Democratic-Republican, he served in the New Hampshire State Senate from 1820 to 1823 and 1827 to 1828. In 1826 he was a member of the New Hampshire House of Representatives.
Hill supported Andrew Jackson for President in 1828. When Jackson was inaugurated, he appointed Hill as Second Comptroller of the United States Treasury, a position Hill held from 1829 to 1830. Hill became a Jackson confidant, and was considered a member of the Kitchen Cabinet, a group of unofficial advisors who played a major role in shaping the administration's policy.
