Valley Hi is a village in Logan County, Ohio, United States. The population was 244 at the 2000 census. The village is located nearby U.S. Route 33 and is about an hour northwest of Columbus.

The village is located in an area with some of the steepest terrain in normally flat Western Ohio and serves as home to the Mad River Mountain ski area. In fact, most of the village is located on top of a steep ridge (mountain, by some standards) and is actually located above the ski area, with many of the slopes circling one side of the village. Valley Hi has a distinct "Alpine" flavor with many of the streets named for European mountain locations and homes decorated in a Swiss chalet style.
