Bellevue Hill is an eastern suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.

==History==
In the early 19th century, Irish-Australian immigrants referred to the area as Vinegar Hill, after the Battle of Vinegar Hill, an engagement during the 1798 uprising of the United Irishmen in south-east Ireland. Governor Lachlan Macquarie took great exception to this and decided to name the suburb Bellevue Hill, the ''belle vue'' meaning ''beautiful view''.〔The Book of Sydney Suburbs, Frances Pollon, Angus and Robertson, 1990, page 25〕
Later in that century, Bellevue Hill became the home of the Fairfax family, who lived at ''Trahlee'', in Ginahgulla Road, which was leased by James Fairfax from 1866 to 1878. They then moved to Ginahgulla (now known as Fairfax House and owned by The Scots College) in the same road. The Fairfax family were responsible for establishing the Fairfax Media empire, which became a major force in the Australian news media (see also John Fairfax).
