Margaret Joseph "Peggy" Hill (née Platter) is a fictional character in the American animated series King of the Hill.

Peggy is the matriarch of the Hill family and the wife of series protagonist Hank Hill, mother to Robert Jeffrey "Bobby" Hill, and aunt to Luanne Platter. Peggy was born in Montana to cattle ranchers in 1959, later moving to Texas. Her immediate family includes Doc Platter (father), Maddy Platter (mother), Luanne Platter (niece), Hoyt Platter (brother), Laverne Platter (aunt), Boffo Platter (uncle), Hank Hill (husband), Bobby Hill (son), Elroy "Lucky" Kleinschmidt (nephew-in-law), and Gracie Margaret Kleinschmidt (grand-niece). Other relatives, including her brother, mother, and father, are featured in the series at various times. She moved to Texas as a young woman (presumably before or during high school because of an episode where she and Hank were dating in high school), where she met Hank Hill.

She wears glasses and is generally seen wearing sleeveless blouses and culottes. Although she is of relatively normal height for a woman, she has abnormally large feet – she wears a size 16½ shoe on her left foot, and a size 16 on her right (although in true US shoe sizing, there are no half sizes after size 12). Her feet are the one trait she is deeply insecure about, despite the fact that it's been said that such feet give her her exceptional athletic ability. She is gifted at softball, among other sports. She is also skilled at playing Boggle, and once won the Texas State Boggle Championship.

Within the household, Peggy provides a voice of reason to and a buffer between Hank and Bobby, who have difficulty relating to each other. Peggy has taken Hank to task about their relationship, or the lack thereof. Peggy's devotion to family extends to her niece Luanne, whom she thinks of as a daughter. Peggy freely encourages Bobby and Luanne; sometimes to Hank's distress. Peggy's high opinion of herself is often quite an annoyance to her family and friends. She usually considers herself smarter than everyone she meets and knows; more attractive than Luanne, Nancy and many other more conventionally attractive women; and constantly takes credit for things she has never done. Hank finally confronts her about her confidence issues in "Peggy's Fan Fair". Despite boasting of her intelligence, she has been a victim of manipulation multiple times, such as being conned out of $2,500 for a phony degree in the episode "The Substitute Spanish Prisoner". She was easily indoctrinated into a homogenous cult despite her intent of trying to remove Luanne from the very same group. She has been conned into participating in two separate pyramid schemes, one selling Herbalife-inspired health food products, the other selling kitchen utensils.
