The St. Paul's Hill (Malay: Bukit St. Paul) is a hill in Malacca City, Malacca, Malaysia.
The hill was originally named the Malacca Hill when Parameswara established the hill and surrounding area as the administrative centre of Malacca. The area that time served as the settlement of seafarers who were mainly fishermen. The hill was then renamed to Mary's Hill during the Portuguese Malacca. The Portuguese developed the hill extensively starting 1511 and also built the A Famosa fortress to protect the hill and the city of Malacca from the attacks of the Dutch and Johor Sultanate.
