Oak Hill Capital Partners is an American private equity firm that manages committed capital from entrepreneurs, endowments, foundations, and global financial institutions.

Oak Hill Capital Partners was founded in 1986 by Robert Bass, an early pioneer in leveraged buyouts who previously employed the founders of TPG Capital. The firm is one of several independent Oak Hill partnerships that together manage capital across multiple asset classes including venture capital, real estate, and public equity. Oak Hill Capital Partners specifically focuses on middle-market private equity investments, having completed over fifty significant transactions since its inception.

The firm has attracted a prestigious investor base, including high-profile individuals like Bill Gates and Phil Knight, as well as institutional investors such as Stanford University and the Country of Singapore. Its investment activity spans various industries, with a notable history of transactions in the communications, technology, and services sectors.

In recent years, the firm has executed several multi-billion dollar deals, such as the $2.3 billion sale of Wave Broadband in 2017 and the $1.43 billion acquisition of Berlin Packaging. More recently, the firm has continued its expansion through acquisitions in the specialized services and infrastructure sectors, including deals for VetCor Group and Guild Garage Group.
