Thorpe on the Hill (or Thorpe) is a village in the Leeds district, in the county of West Yorkshire, England. The village falls within the Ardsley and Robin Hood ward of the Leeds Metropolitan Council. It was mentioned as "Torp" in the Domesday Book together with neighbouring Carlton, Lofthouse, Middleton, and Rothwell as part of the Morley Hundred in the West Riding.

The village is situated 5 mi south of Leeds city centre, and between Middleton and Rothwell. It is split by the M62 Motorway, and is close to the Lofthouse Interchange where the M62 meets the M1 (Junction 29 - Junction 42).

History
