O'Hara Township is a township with home rule status^[3] in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States, six miles northeast of Downtown Pittsburgh. The community was long organized as a township, and retains "Township" in its official name, but adopted a home rule charter in 1973 (taking effect on January 5, 1976)^[3] and is no longer subject to the Pennsylvania Township Code. The population was 9,288 at the 2020 census.^[2]

It is named for James O'Hara, an early American industrialist in western Pennsylvania, and a Revolutionary War general.^[4]
