Darrell Marquee Hill (born August 17, 1993) is an American track and field athlete known for the shot put.
On July 1, 2016, at the 2016 Olympic Trials, Hill threw a new personal best of 21.63 m (70 ft 11+1⁄2 in) to finish third and qualify for the 2016 Olympics.
His previous personal best of 21.16m was set just two weeks earlier at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, California. Hill's father was able to watch his son in the Olympics after a crowdfunding campaign was started by a passenger whom he met while driving for Uber.
