Coordinates: 19°03′57″N 72°49′36″E / 19.06587°N 72.826744°E / 19.06587; 72.826744 Pali Hill is a residential area in the suburb of Bandra in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.

Pali Hill lies on the west coast of Mumbai, running closely parallel to Carter Road (recently renamed Naushad Ali Road), a popular sea-front and promenade. Both these roads are situated in the Bandra (West) suburb (H-West Ward) of Mumbai, India.

Situated mainly on a few rolling hills with alternate steep and shallow sides, has it garnered the name Pali Hill, although there is more than one hill. Although the main route of the road has been smoothened and paved, the buildings and bungalows are set within both the "valleys" and "crests" of the said hills. Nearby localities include Pali Village and Pali Naka.

Up to the 1950s, the area was mainly forested with dense undergrowth. Over the years, it was cultivated and tamed to grow fruits and crops. At one time the sea was plainly visible from the foot of the hills.

Soon, a few buildings were constructed by entrepreneurs and builders. However, the multitude of people lived in small cottages or bungalows. Construction of apartment buildings commenced in the mid/late 1960s, with Nibbana Apartments being one of the first.

The cottage dwellers slowly sold their homes to the real estate developers and Pali Hill grew into an affluent neighbourhood.

K. Street Pali Hill (2004–2006), a thriller television soap on STAR Plus, produced by Ekta Kapoor (Balaji Telefilms) was set in the suburb.
