White Hills is a suburb of the city of Bendigo in central Victoria, Australia. It is located four kilometres immediately north-east of the city centre between North Bendigo and East Bendigo.
"The White Hills" were named for the colour of the clay exposed by gold miners at that part of the Bendigo diggings in the 1850s.
The Bendigo Creek, the site of the area's first gold find, runs through White Hills.
At the 2011 census, White Hills had a population of 3,275.
