Pound Hill is a neighbourhood within the town of Crawley in West Sussex, England. Pound Hill is located on the east of Crawley. It is bordered by Three Bridges and Manor Royal to the west and Maidenbower to the south.
It is the largest of the 13 neighbourhoods of Crawley. Until 2004, it was the only one to be split into two wards - Pound Hill North and Pound Hill South (now Broadfield has also been split into North and South). Its boundaries extend north beyond the main built-up area thus making it also the most northerly neighbourhood in the town.
Pound Hill has a reputation for being a more expensive area of Crawley, although it covers a wide variety of housing from small flats to very large modern houses.
The White Knight, 'Britain's most patriotic pub', is in Pound Hill.
The area of Worth is within the boundaries of Pound Hill. This has no official recognition, however the 'Pound Hill South' ward was renamed in 2004 to 'Pound Hill South and Worth'. It is common for signposts to be altered to use the Worth name by local residents.
