Hagnesta Hill is the fourth studio album by Swedish alternative rock band Kent. It was released in 1999 (Swedish version) and 2000 (English version). For the English version two new songs, "Quiet Heart" and "Just Like Money" were recorded, and "Ett tidsfördriv att dö för" and "Insekter" were left out. "Ett tidsfördriv att dö för" was later used as a hidden track in the digipak version, where it is called "A Timekill to Die For". This was the second and last English album Kent recorded.
The English version of the song "Noll" called "We Need To Eat" is from an English digipak promo for Hagnesta Hill.

Track listing
* The lyrics contained in "Rollercoaster" ("All those memories will be lost in time/Like tears in the rain") are lifted from the penultimate scene of Blade Runner, as spoken by Roy Batty to Rick Deckard. On Kent's previous album Isola, the band also paid homage to the film, as the song "OWC" stands for "Off World Colonies".
