Denis Cecil Hills (8 November 1913 – 26 April 2004) was a British author, teacher, traveller and adventurer.
He came to international prominence in 1975 while he was living in Uganda and was sentenced to death for espionage and sedition following comments about President Idi Amin in a book which Hills wrote.
After Amin rebuffed appeals for clemency by the Queen, Hills was released and allowed to return to the UK following the intervention of the British government.
