'''Braemar Hill''' ({{zh|t=寶馬山|c=|s=|p=|cy=bóumáhsān|j=bou2 maa5 saan1|first=t,cy}}) is a hill with a height of {{convert|200|metres|ft}} south of [[Tsat Tsz Mui|Braemar Point]] on [[Hong Kong Island]], [[Hong Kong]].<ref>{{Cite web|title=Node: Braemar Hill (1654612319)|url=https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1654612319|access-date=2020-08-03|website=OpenStreetMap|language=en}}</ref> The hill was likely named after the Scottish village of [[Braemar]] by British officials.

Contrary to popular belief, the peak of Braemar Hill lies on the eastern end of Braemar Hill Road instead of the western end, where the ascent towards [[Red Incense Summit]] is noticeably steeper. Hikers often misidentify [[Red Incense Summit]] and nearby hilltops as the peak of Braemar Hill.

The north and western sides of this hill are largely residential, consisting primarily of private upmarket real estate. Because of its convenient location and high real estate prices, Braemar Hill is considered one of the more affluent [[List of buildings, sites, and areas in Hong Kong|neighbourhoods in the territory]].

=== Pedestrian escalator system ===
In 2020, the Hong Kong Government proposed building a pedestrian link and escalator system between Braemar Hill and [[Fortress Hill]], which has an [[Fortress Hill station|MTR station]]. <ref>{{Cite web|title=Proposed construction of Braemar Hill Pedestrian Link gazetted|url=https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/201906/28/P2019062800313.htm|access-date=2020-02-08|website=www.info.gov.hk}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=陳晶琦|date=2019-06-28|title=寶馬山興建行人通道系統 炮台山道、雲景道等部分行人道永久封閉|url=https://www.hk01.com/18區新聞/345919/寶馬山興建行人通道系統-炮台山道-雲景道等部分行人道永久封閉|access-date=2020-02-08|website=香港01|language=zh-HK}}</ref> It would be akin to the [[Central–Mid-Levels escalator]], albeit with gaps and more lifts. Currently under construction, the Highways Department currently estimates completion of the system in 2027.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Braemar Hill Pedestrian Link |url=https://www.hyd.gov.hk/en/our_projects/walkability_projects/HEL/ce29_2017/braemar_hill_leaflet.pdf |website=www.hyd.gov.hk}}</ref>
