Annie Hill (1955, Liverpool) is a British sailor, author of books and articles on sailboat voyaging, living on a small amount of money and junk rig.

Annie Hill has been voyaging and living aboard various sailing yachts since 1975. Her book Voyaging on a Small Income is a study in the economics of continual travel and self sufficiency. Hill writes using distinct British vernacular and colloquialisms.

Her first two books concerned voyaging aboard Badger, a 34 foot double-ended dory with a two-masted junk rig of the schooner style, which was built by Hill and her husband, Pete Hill. Badger was designed by Jay Benford for plywood construction. Hill\'s analysis and comparison of the modern junk rig is at least partly responsible for the recent re-popularization of the junk rig.

Hill now sails aboard Iron Bark, a steel gaff schooner. Hill is divorced from her former husband, Pete, and travels and lives with Trevor Robertson. She has recently spent the winter on Iron Bark in a frozen bay in Greenland. She also paints and is an artist.
