Hilston is a village in the civil parish of Roos, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England, near the North Sea coast in an area known as Holderness. It is situated approximately 12 mi east of Kingston upon Hull city centre and 5 mi north-west of Withernsea. It lies to the east of the B1242 road. In 1931 the parish had a population of 27.

The name Hilston derives from the Old Norse personal name Hidolf, or perhaps the Old English Hidwulf, and the Old English tūn meaning 'settlement'.

Governance

On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Roos, Hilston is now represented locally by Roos Parish Council while at county level is in the South East Holderness ward of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council. At a parliamentary level it is part of the Beverley and Holderness constituency which is represented by Graham Stuart of the Conservative Party.
