Red Hills is a locality and suburb in the local government area of Meander Valley, in the Launceston region of Tasmania. It is located about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) west of the town of Deloraine. The Meander River forms part of the south-eastern boundary, while its tributary Western Creek forms the remainder. The railway tracks of the Western line pass through the north-eastern corner of the locality, crossing the B12 route (Mole Creek Road) at Lemana Junction. The 2016 census determined a population of 120 for the state suburb of Red Hills.

History

A hill named Red Hill is within the locality, and the name of the locality may be derived from it.
