Seven Hills is a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is located 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of the CBD, and borders Camp Hill, Carina, Morningside, and Norman Park.

Seven Hills is named after the Seven Hills of Rome. This name was given to the area by R. G. Oates; a real-estate agent who bought the land in the 1920s.

Between 1912 and 1926 the southern edge of the suburb was serviced by a steam tram which connected with the Queensland Government Railway at Norman Park. Initially the service was operated by the Belmont Shire Council. The service was suspended in 1924. The service was reinstated by the Brisbane City Council in 1925 following the amalgamation of the local government authorities, but was again suspended in 1926. The tracks, which followed the present Oateson Skyline Drive and Ferguson Road and continued to Belmont along Old Cleveland Road, remained in place until 1934.

In 1953 the Brisbane City Council commenced a trolley-bus service, which connected the suburb with Fortitude Valley via Stanley Street, terminating just off Oateson Skyline Drive. The trolley-bus service ceased operation on 13 March 1969, when diesel buses took over the service.

There has been no railway station in Seven Hills since the closure of the Belmont Tramway in 1926, however Norman Park and Morningside stations are located within walking distance of the western side of the suburb. Three radial bus corridors serve the suburb. Two express bus routes alternate to provide a relatively frequent and direct connection between the Brisbane central business district and Cannon Hill Shopping Centre bus station along a corridor that passes through the northwest corner of Seven Hills via Agnew Street and Clearview Avenue. One all-stops bus route passes centrally through Seven Hills along a corridor that includes Agnew Street, Oateson Skyline Drive, and Stanley Road, with closely spaced bus stops. This route provides a relatively direct but infrequent connection between Fortitude Valley and Carindale Shopping Centre. A peak route and an all-stops route provide a relatively direct but infrequent connection between Fortitude Valley and Cannon Hill Shopping Centre, passing along the southern border of Seven Hills on a corridor that includes Stanley Road and Perth Street, Camp Hill. The most significant stop, Seven Hills express stop 42, is located on Agnew Street in the northwest corner of the suburb.
