Summit Hill is a borough in Carbon County, Pennsylvania. The population was 3,034 at the 2010 census.

Summit Hill has a storied history as the western terminus of the United States' second operational railway, the Mauch Chunk Switchback Railway, and some of the earliest coal mines developed in North America, where the Lehigh Coal & Navigation Company began mining in 1792, establishing the town initially as little more than a mining camp with stables and paddocks.
