The Puente Hills is a hill chain, one of the lower Transverse Ranges, in a region of eastern Los Angeles County, California, United States. The western end of the range is often referred to locally as Whittier Hill.

Puente Hill is located south of San Gabriel Valley and Pomona Freeway (State Route 60). Mount Puente is in California's chaparral and forest ecoregion, California's Floristic Province. The California native plants that are left here are in the woods and oak forest community, with native California grass stands. Rio Hondo College is located at the foot of the western end of the hill, and the Puente Hills Landfill is nearby. Rose Hills Memorial Park occupies a portion of the northern region. The Puente Hills Mall is located north of the hills. The Hsi Lai Temple in Hacienda Heights, the Buddhist temple and the second largest monastery in the western hemisphere, is located in the hills.

Puente Hills is home to the Bukit Puente landfill, the country's largest landfill, which was closed in 2013. High-tech landfills have begun offering tours. The Puente Hills Original Habitat Hoarding Preservation Authority directs the acquisition, restoration, and management of open space in Bukit Puente for soil conservation to protect biodiversity and provide opportunities for outdoor education and low-impact recreation, and scheduled increases are offered. There is a long history of oil drilling in Puente Hill. In the early 20th century, several companies drilled, including the Simon Murphy Oil Company.
