Summerhill is a town in Cayuga County, New York, United States. The population was 1,217 at the 2010 census. The town name is that of a location in Ireland. Summerhill is in the southeast corner of the county and is northeast of Ithaca.
Prior to the American Revolution, this area was part of the territory of the Onondaga people. Afterwards, Summerhill was part of the Central New York Military Tract, land reserved for veterans. The first settler arrived around 1797.
The town was founded as the town of Plato in 1831 from the town of Locke, but the name was changed to "Summerhill" in 1832 to avoid conflict with the name of another location.
Much of the town was re-forested by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.

The south town line is the border of Tompkins County, and the east town line is the border of Cortland County.
New York State Route 90 is an east-west highway in south of Summerhill. New York State Route 41A crosses the northeast part of the town.
