Jonathan Hill is a Welsh television presenter, journalist and producer, who currently co-presents Wales Tonight, ITV Wales' nightly regional news magazine programme.

Hill, who studied English at Swansea University before specialising in journalism, started his career freelancing for BBC Radio Wales, before joining HTV Wales as a general news reporter and bulletin presenter in 1993 for HTV Newsdesk and Wales at Six. In February 1994, he was made one of the main presenters of Wales at Six's successor, Wales Tonight, and has since been the senior anchor for the station's main regional news programmes (HTV News, ITV Wales News and the current revival of Wales Tonight).

Hill has also presented and produced documentary programmes for ITV Wales, including the popular series, Crime Secrets and Helicops (which has been shown latterly on Men and Motors and during ITV's Nightwatch with Steve Scott). Currently, he is the executive producer of the weekly arts and entertainment programme, The Wales Show.

He has also contributed to the weekly current affairs programme, Wales This Week, for which he is a stand-in presenter. In 2001, Hill was named BT Welsh Journalist of the Year for a Wales This Week report on convicted murder Mark Shillibier and BT Welsh News Broadcaster of the Year for an interview with the Archbishop of Cardiff.
