Carrick Hill is an urban area on the northern edge of Belfast city centre, County Antrim. It is within the townland of Town Parks, in the civil parish of Shankill. The area was known by this name since at least as far back at the 18th century, though the area was not developed until the 19th century. Much of the 19th century housing was demolished in the 1960s and replaced with blocks of flats. The construction of the Westlink motorway in the 1980s further altered the area. Following the demolition of the 1960s flats, new housing was built in the early 2000s. Carrick Hill is within the council area of Belfast.
