Telegraph Hill (267 metres, 876 feet high[2]) is a hill about 1 mile northwest of Minterne Magna and about 10 miles north of Dorchester in the county of Dorset, England. Its prominence qualifies it as one of the so-called HuMPs.[2]

There is a transmission mast about 600 metres away on the spur to the northeast at High Stoy. Writing in 1906, Sir Frederick Treves described High Stoy as "the most engaging of all Dorset hills—a hill of 800 feet, made up of green slopes, a cliff, and a mantle of trees."[3] Opposite High Stoy is Dogbury Hill, another bastion of the chalk escarpment.

A Franciscan friary lies in the hamlet of Hilfield beneath the hill to the west.
