Starfish Hill Wind Farm is a wind power station spread over two hills near Cape Jervis, South Australia. It has 22 wind turbines, eight on Starfish Hill itself and 14 on Salt Creek Hill, with a combined generating capacity of 33 MW of electricity.

Starfish Hill Wind Farm was commissioned in September 2003, making it the first major wind farm in the state.{{Cite web|title = RATCH - Australia Corporation|url = http://www.ratchaustralia.com/starfish/about_starfish.html|website = www.ratchaustralia.com|accessdate = 2015-12-28}} On 30 October 2010, one of the original 23 turbines caught fire and was destroyed. It was not replaced, leaving the wind farm with 22 turbines.[https://www.wind-watch.org/news/2010/11/20/cant-fight-the-fire/ Can't fight the fire] National Wind Watch 4 November 2010

Starfish Hill Wind Farm was developed by Tarong Energy at a cost of $65 million. RATCH-Australia (at that time part of Transfield Services) acquired the wind farm in December 2007.[https://web.archive.org/web/20200427075106/https://www.asx.com.au/asxpdf/20071129/pdf/3164njhvc4mcyp.pdf TSI Fund acquires Five Wind Firms] Transfield Services 29 November 2007
