Sutter Hill is an unincorporated community in Amador County, California. It is located 7.25 miles (11.7 km) south-southeast of Plymouth,[2] at an elevation of 1562 feet (476 m), or just north of Jackson along California State Route 49.

Sutter Hill was the site of the establishment of Amador County in 1854.[3] The Botto family established an estate on Sutter Hill in 1860 and lived there for five generations; other Italian families in the area established the Italian Benevolent Society of Amador County to support local miners. The society holds an annual picnic and parade in the area.[4][5] By 1967, Sutter Hill had become a commercial district with supermarkets, lumber centers, general shopping centers, and the Amador County Airport.[6]
