Hedgehope Hill is a mountain in the Cheviot Hills of north Northumberland in northeast England, and categorised as a Hewitt. It is the second-highest mountain in the area after The Cheviot itself.

At a height of {{Convert|714|m}} and a distance of about {{Convert|3|mi}} from the Scottish border, it is best climbed from Langleeford in the Harthope Valley, over which it looms. The Harthope valley is accessible by a minor road from near Wooler to the northeast. A slightly gentler climb, though a longer distance, is from Linhope in the Breamish valley, approaching from the south east. An alternative route to the summit could involve a long day's climb of both the Cheviot and Hedgehope Hill, starting and finishing at Langleeford. It is a steep climb from any approach, best reserved for fitter walkers though the steepest inclines are not long in distance.

Hedgehope has steeper sides than the taller but flatter-topped Cheviot and affords excellent views on all sides.{{cite web |last1=Holland |first1=Geoff |title=THE ALTERNATIVE HEDGEHOPE HILL CIRCUIT |url=http://www.cheviotwalks.org/art5.html |website=CheviotWalks.org}}{{cite web |last1=Norris |first1=Patrick |title=Hedgehope, a very fine hill in Northumberland National Park |url=https://footstepsnorthumberland.co.uk/blog/hedgehope-northumberland-national-park/ |website=Footsteps in Northumberland}} On a clear day, views stretch to Blyth down the coastline up to {{Convert|40|mi|sigfig=1}} away. Conversely, the mountain can be viewed on a clear day from most areas of Northumberland and even as far south as central County Durham.
