Old Shorter Hill, Summit in Rome, Georgia, United States.

Old Shorter Hill is a summit in Rome, Georgia, reaching 676 feet (206 m) above sea level, the 910th highest summit in the state. It is counted among the Seven Hills of Rome, Georgia. A cul-de-sac occupies the summit, and Mount Alto lies about 6.3 km to the east.

The hill was first known as Shelton Hill, named after the area's main landowner. Cherokee Baptist Female College, founded in 1873, was originally housed in facilities on the hill. In 1877 the college was renamed Shorter College after donations from Alfred and Martha Shorter; the hill took the name Old Shorter Hill after Martha Shorter's death. The college moved to a site outside downtown Rome in 1910.

Old Shorter Hill is counted among the Seven Hills of Rome, Georgia, a local grouping that echoes the seven hills of Rome, Italy. The hill was first called Shelton Hill after the area's main landowner, and it took the Shorter name only after Martha Shorter's death.

The summit sits about 0.75 km southwest of downtown Rome, in a residential neighbourhood, and a cul-de-sac occupies the top. Approach on foot from the surrounding streets; the climb is short, since the hill rises to only 206 metres. Mount Alto, 459 metres high, lies 6.3 km to the east.

The original Cherokee Baptist Female College stood on this hill before moving its campus outside downtown in 1910. This connection to the city's educational past is not immediately obvious when visiting the residential area today.
