Springfield Township is a township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 5,035 at the 2010 census.
The Jacob Funk House and Barn, Knecht's Mill Covered Bridge, Springhouse Farm, and Springtown Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It was also the location of the formerly listed Haupt's Mill Covered Bridge.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the township has a total area of 30.8 square miles (79.7 km²), all of it land. It is located in the Delaware watershed and, while most of the township is drained directly eastward into the Delaware River by Tohickon Creek and Cooks Creek (both of which start in Springfield,) a very small area in the extreme west is drained by the Unami Creek into the Perkiomen Creek and Schuylkill River.
Springfield Township's past and present villages include Bursonville, Gallows, Gruversville, Hilltop, Passer, Pleasant Valley, Pullen, Springtown, Stony Point, and Zionhill. Many longtime residents share ties with the Saucon Valley (the nearby Coopersburg and Hellertown areas of the Lehigh Valley.) Most of the township enjoys mutual local calling with the Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton as well as Quakertown telephone exchanges. Many township residents have Coopersburg, Quakertown or Hellertown addresses.
