Idanre Hill, also called Oke Idanre, is a granite formation in the town of Idanre in Ondo State, southwestern Nigeria, rising to about 914 meters above sea level. It sits on a Precambrian igneous batholith roughly 500 million years old, cut by several large fractures that form deep valleys within the rock. The Idanre people have lived on and around the hill for close to a thousand years, and its summit carries a cultural landscape that includes the Owa's Palace, shrines and the landmark known as Agboogun's footprint. The hill was added to UNESCO's World Heritage Tentative List in 2007 for its combined biophysical and cultural significance, and it is referenced in Wole Soyinka's poetry collection Idanre and Other Poems.
