Hill Mansion is a historic home located at Culpeper, Culpeper County, Virginia. It was built in 1857–1858, and is a two-story, four-bay, brick dwelling in the Italianate style. It measures 39 feet by 38 feet, 7 inches, and rests on a high brick foundation. The front facade features a one-story porch consisting of an arcade, supported on Tuscan order piers, with a bracketed cornice. It was the home of Edward Baptist Hill, whose brother, General A. P. Hill, was a frequent visitor during the American Civil War. It also served as a Confederate hospital and later as headquarters for Union officers.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1] It is included in the South East Street Historic District.
