Belmont Hills is a suburb in Philadelphia of the Lower Merion Township of Pennsylvania. Located in the village of Bala Cynwyd, it is known for its hilly terrain. The name Belmont means "Beautiful Mountain." However, this wasn't always its name. Before the Reading Railroad was built, the area was known as Rocky Hill. Then, it was called West Manayunk until the 1950s, when it was renamed Belmont Hills.

It is bounded by Penn Valley to the west, Narberth to the southwest, Cynwyd to the south and the Schuylkill River to the east and north. The main roads serving the suburb are Conshohocken State Road (Pennsylvania State Road 23), Rocky Hill Road and Schuylkill Expressway.
