Braemar Hill (Chinese: 寶馬山; Jyutping: bou2 maa5 saan1) is a hill with a height of 200 metres (660 ft) south of North Point on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong.^[1] The hill was likely named after the Scottish village of Braemar by British officials.

The north and western sides of this hill are largely residential, consisting primarily of private upmarket real estate. Because of its convenient location and high real estate prices, Braemar Hill is considered one of the more affluent neighbourhoods in the city.
