Opal S. Trout Hill (June 2, 1892 – June 23, 1981) was an American professional golfer. She won the Women's Western Open in 1935 and 1936.

Hill became a golf professional in 1938, and was one of the 13 founders of the Ladies Professional Golf Association in 1950.
Hill died in Kansas City, Missouri at the age of 89.
