Gants Hill is a district in the London Borough of Redbridge in North East London. It is a suburban development situated 9.5 miles (15.2 km) north east of Charing Cross.

The name originates from Richard le Gant, who is recorded as living in the area in 1285.

The area is mostly residential with a selection of retail outlets, a wide variety of restaurants, pubs, bars and a hotel. Valentines Park is located between Gants Hill and nearby Ilford.

Valentines High School and Gearies School are schools in the area. Other nearby schools include Valentines High School, Beal High School in Clayhall and the selective grammar schools Ilford County High School and Woodford County located in Barkingside and Woodford respectively.

Perth Road is the main road of the Commonwealth Estate, overlapping with Ilford proper, in which the roads are named after cities of former British colonies such as Aden, Colombo, Toronto, Quebec, Melbourne and Perth.

The Odeon cinema, originally called the Savoy, was demolished in 2004 to provide space for a block of flats. It stood between Eastern Avenue and Perth Road.
