Allison Don Hills (born December 11, 1992) is an American indie-pop musician and YouTuber from Los Angeles, California. She first gained fame in 2012 after uploading her song "For You," a joking love confession to fellow YouTuber Rose Ellen Dix. Since then, she has released several singles including "Not Now," "Woah," and "Space," as well as multiple covers in her own personal style. She has collaborated with Danny Padilla and Jonny Glenn.
Besides music, she is also known for her LGBT-related content, relating to her experiences as a lesbian. In 2015, she wrote and released "The Coming Out Song," designed for LGBT people to send to their friends and family to come out of the closet. Much of her vlogging content is related to her dating life and relationships, her journey to coming out herself, or her personal struggles with anxiety and OCD. She has also branched out into various other genres, like film reviews, "challenge" vlogs, and cooking/drink mixing videos. Not to be confused with Alecia (Ali) Hillis who voiced Liara T’Soni and Lightning Farron.

Tropes present in Ally Hills' work
- Bile Fascination: Invoked by her obsession with PureFlix, which bills itself as the "Christian alternative" to Netflix.

- Gaydar: How to Tell if a Girl Is a Lesbian
- "I Am Great!" Song: "Woah":"I look so good I think I wanna kiss myself!"
- Lyrical Dissonance: "Not Now" is an upbeat synth pop song about a heartbroken person watching from the sidelines as their lover moves on, swearing they'll "love [them] forever even if it's not now."
- Makeover Montage: Has several "makeup transformation" videos, including one where she transforms into a "femme lesbian" and another where she turns herself into a drag king.
- Pie in the Face: In "The Coming Out Song," she pies Danny Padilla in the face. For bonus points, the pie says "GAY" in All Caps on it.
- Retraux: The music video for "Not Now" is shot through a VHS-style filter.
