Harlow Hill is a small village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Stamfordham, in Northumberland, England. In 1951 the parish had a population of 61.[1]

Harlow Hill lies on the line of Hadrian's Wall, and is the site of Milecastle 16. The Military Road also passes by the village.

Harlow Hill was historically a township in the ancient parish of Ovingham.[2][3] It became a separate civil parish in 1866. The civil parish was abolished on 1 April 1955, when it was merged with other parishes to create the civil parish of Stamfordham.[4]
