Tan Hill (NY896067) is a high point on the Pennine Way in the Richmondshire district of North Yorkshire, England. It lies north of Keld in the civil parish of Muker, near to the borders of County Durham and Cumbria, and close to the northern boundary of the Yorkshire Dales National Park. It is in an isolated location, with the nearest town of Kirkby Stephen being an 11-mile (18 km) drive away.

The Tan Hill Inn is the highest inn in the British Isles at 1,732 feet (528 m) above sea level. The second highest pub in the UK is the Cat and Fiddle Inn in the Peak District with an elevation of about 1,690 feet (515 m).

The building dates to the 17th century, and during the 18th century was used as a hostelry by workers digging coal pits. The building is unusual for its isolation, but it used to be surrounded by miners' cottages. After the closure of the last mine in 1929, and demolition of the associated cottages in the early 1930s, the pub remained open due to the custom of local farmers and the development of the motor car.

The Lion Inn on remote Blakey Ridge stands at an elevation of 1,325 feet (404 m).

The Kirkstone Pass Inn is nestled among the high Lakeland fells atop the 1500ft (457 m) high Kirkstone pass.
