Trevor Keith Hill (born 28 July 1943, Leicester) is an English politician who served in a variety of Government roles as a Whip and a junior minister.
He was Labour Member of Parliament for Streatham, from the 1992 general election to 2010, having announced on 23 May 2007 that he would be standing down as an MP at the next general election. He was offered a knighthood in the 2010 Dissolution Honours, but declined the honour saying he would find the "whole idea a little embarrassing and too much for me".
Hill was educated at City Boys' Grammar School in Leicester, from where he won a scholarship to Corpus Christi College, Oxford. He completed a Diploma in Education at University College of Wales, Aberystwyth.
He was then a politics lecturer, firstly in the University of Leicester and at the University of Strathclyde from 1969–1973. He worked as a research officer for the Labour Party's International Department from 1974–1976 before becoming a political officer for the National Union of Railwaymen, subsequently amalgamated into the National Union of Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers (RMT). In the 1979 general election he stood unsuccessfully as Labour Candidate in Blaby.
