Greene's Hill is a sloped section of turf located behind the center field fence at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington – the home field of the Texas Rangers – in Arlington, Texas. The Hill serves as a batter's eye, providing a contracting background behind the pitchers which enables hitters to more easily see the baseball after the pitcher's release.

Named after former Arlington mayor, Richard Greene on November, 1997, Ballpark groundskeepers have recently added the Rangers' "T" logo in the middle of the Hill.
