Eden Hill is a historic home located at Dover, Kent County, Delaware. It was built in 1749 in two sections; a double-pile, side-hall three bay structure to the south, and a lower two bay section of two rooms to the north. The stuccoed dwelling has a gable roof on both sections. It was the home of the prominent Ridgely family, who purchased the property in 1748.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
