Boxwood Hill is a town and locality in the Shire of Jerramungup, Great Southern region of Western Australia. Boxwood Hill is situated at the intersection of the South Coast Highway and the Borden-Bremer Bay Road. The Pallinup River forms the locality's south-western border, reaching the Southern Ocean at Beaufort Inlet.
The townsite was gazetted in 1963, named after a local shrub, Microcorys sp. Boxwood.
