The Ricker Hills (75°41′S 159°10′E / 75.683°S 159.167°E / -75.683; 159.167 (Ricker Hills)) are a group of mainly ice-free hills, about 9 nautical miles (17 km; 10 mi) long, lying just west of Hollingsworth Glacier in Antarctica. They were mapped and named by the Southern Party of the New Zealand Geological Survey Antarctic Expedition (NZGSAE), 1962–63, for J.F. Ricker, a geologist with the party.
