Ken Hill (28 January 1937 – 23 January 1995) was an English playwright and theatre director. He was a protégé of Joan Littlewood at Theatre Workshop.
He was happiest directing chaotic musicals on the tiny stage of the old Theatre Royal Stratford East, Theatre Workshop's home in Stratford, London, for many years but he also had hits in the West End and abroad, among them The Invisible Man and the original stage version of Phantom of the Opera, which inspired Andrew Lloyd Webber to create his musical blockbuster of the same title.
