Katherine Lauren Hill (born August 25, 1987) is an American social services administrator and politician. A member of the Democratic Party, she served as the U.S. Representative for California's 25th congressional district from January to November 2019.

Born in Abilene, Kansas and raised in Santa Clarita, California, Hill graduated from Saugus High School in 2004. After interning in an emergency room and witnessing the health care realities of the uninsured, Hill decided to advocate for the needs of the underserved on a policy level. In 2011 she earned a BA from California State University, Northridge, and completed her MPA there in 2014. Hill began her career as a policy advocate at People Assisting the Homeless (PATH), a non-profit organization developing affordable and supportive services for the homeless in California. Later, as the Executive Director for PATH, she raised the organization from a local force in Los Angeles County to one of the largest non-profit providers of homes for the homeless in California. Hill helped pass a ballot initiative, Measure H, during spring of 2017 to help alleviate homelessness by providing $1.2 billion in funds for homeless services in Los Angeles County. She married Kenny Heslep in 2010; the two separated in 2019 and divorced the following year.
