Tuggeranong Hill is located in Tuggeranong, Canberra. While it is called a hill, it is by definition a mountain.

Lanyon Valley is almost completely surrounded by hills and mountains and consequently television transmissions from Black Mountain are effected. To overcome this, a broadcast translator has been erected on top of Tuggeranong Hill. There is a track to the repeater on top of Tuggeranong Hill for service vehicles, which doubles as a Fire Trail.

Tuggeranong Hill is part of the Canberra Nature Park. A walk to the top of Tuggeranong Hill provides views of the Lanyon Valley and of the rest of Canberra.

Tuggeranong Hill stands 855m above sea level.
