Pine Hill is a borough in Camden County, New Jersey, United States. As of the 2010 United States Census, the borough had a population of 10,233,[1][2][3] reflecting a decline of 647 (−5.9%) from the 10,880 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 1,026 (+10.4%) from the 9,854 counted in the 1990 Census.

The Borough of Pine Hill was created on April 23, 1929, from Clementon Township, one of seven municipalities created from the now-defunct township, and one of five new municipalities (including Hi-Nella Borough, Lindenwold Borough, Pine Valley Borough and Somerdale Borough) created on that same date. Earlier known as Mont Ararat or Clementon Heights, the name "Pine Hill" was chosen to reflects the trees and terrain of the area.

The borough of Pine Valley agreed to be absorbed into Pine Hill in 2021. The merger took effect on January 1, 2022, adding $20 million in taxable property and the famed golf course into Pine Hill.

The borough had the 16th-highest property tax rate in New Jersey, with an equalized rate of 4.520% in 2020, compared to 3.470% in the county as a whole and a statewide average of 2.279%.
