Hillview is a home rule-class city[4] in Bullitt County, Kentucky, in the United States. The population was 8,622 as of the 2020 census, up from 8,172 at the 2010 census.[5] The primary road through the area is Kentucky Route 61, known as Preston Highway in both Jefferson and Bullitt counties.

Long a rural farming community, Hillview was connected to what became Interstate 65 in 1954 and grew in the 1950s and 1960s as a suburb of Louisville. Its larger subdivisions included Maryville, Overdale, and Lone Acres, and they incorporated in 1974 to form the present city.
