O'Hara Township is a township with home rule status in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania in the 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) and is no longer subject to the Pennsylvania Township Code. The population was 8,407 at the 2010 census.
It is named for James O'Hara (1752?–1819), an early American industrialist in western Pennsylvania, and a revolutionary war general.
O'Hara Township is located at 40°29′52″N 79°53′12″W / 40.49778°N 79.88667°W (40.498001, -79.886789). It consists of five non-contiguous areas, with Sharpsburg, Aspinwall and Fox Chapel separating them.
