Leslie Hill (62°34′S 60°12′W / 62.567°S 60.200°W) is a hill lying northward of Bowles Ridge and south of the Vidin Heights in the eastern part of Livingston Island in the South Shetland Islands, Antarctica. Situated 5.33 km (3.31 mi) north of Mount Bowles, 1.43 km (0.89 mi) east-northeast of the summit of Gleaner Heights and 3.15 km (1.96 mi) south-southwest of Radnevo Peak.
The hill was named by the UK Antarctic Place-Names Committee in 1958 for David Leslie, Master of the American brig Gleaner, a whaler from New Bedford, Massachusetts, which was diverted to sealing in 1820–21 in the South Shetland Islands, following the discovery of this group.[1][2]
