国会山(英語:Capitol Hill),是美國首都华盛顿哥伦比亚特区的一個街區(neighborhood),也是华盛顿特區內最大的聯邦歷史特定區(Federal historic districts),美國政府最高的權力象徵——美國國會大廈即座落於此。尽管地理上并不在华盛顿特区的中心,但是还是由于它的特殊地位而成为大家关注的焦点。名稱來源於羅馬七丘之一的卡比托利欧山(Capitolium),拉丁語言的頭部和首都(capital)也具有相同詞根。這一名稱意在致敬古典民主和共和。
国会山是华盛顿特区最古老的住宅区之一,人口约3.5万人,面积不到2平方英里(5平方公里),也是人口最稠密的地区之一。
