Mark Stephen Hill (born 21 January 1961) is an English retired professional football left back, best remembered for his five years with Maidstone United, winning promotion to the Football League in 1989. Hill's only experience of league football came early in his career with Brentford.
A left back, Hill began his career with Division Two side Queens Park Rangers. He failed to make a first team appearance and departed Loftus Road at the end of the 1979–80 season.
Hill joined Division Three side Brentford in July 1980, as one of new manager Fred Callaghan's first signings. Aged only 19, Hill held a regular place in the first team during the 1980–81 season, making 42 appearances and scoring three goals. He scored on his debut versus Charlton Athletic and scored one goal for and against the Bees in front of the ATV cameras during a 3–2 win at Walsall a fortnight later. Hill fell out of favour in the following season, making just 20 appearances and being released in May 1982. Hill made 62 appearances and scored three goals during his two seasons at Griffin Park.
After his release from Brentford, Hill dropped into non-league football and signed for Isthmian League Premier Division side Wycombe Wanderers in the summer of 1983. He had an excellent start to life at Loakes Park, making 42 league appearances, reaching the first round proper of the FA Cup, the final of the Isthmian League Cup and winning the first silverware of his career as Wycombe cruised to the Premier Division title. The club declined a place in the Alliance Premier League and Hill remained with the Chairboys for the 1983–84 season, leaving in May 1984. He made 68 league appearances and scored three goals for Wycombe.
