Black Horse Tavern was a historic tavern in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.

Black Horse Tavern was founded in 1794 by Henry Westbay, a native of Ireland.[1] That year, during the early stages of the Whiskey Rebellion, the rebels met at the Black Horse Tavern to plan attacks on federal forces.[2] Leaders of the rebellion intercepted federal mail between Philadelphia and federal troops at the tavern.[3]

Some sources identify the Black Horse Tavern as the birthplace of the Whiskey Rebellion.[4] Other sources are less certain on the role of the tavern in the rebellion, ascribing the tavern's prominent role in the Whiskey Rebellion to "local tradition."[5] By 1795, Westbay opened a "nailing business" at the location.[1] In 1814, he sold the tavern and moved to nearby Washington.[1]

The tavern was located northwest of Daily House, on the road between Budd's Ferry on the Youghiogheny River to McFarlen's Ferry on Monongahela River.[5]

The remains of the tavern were removed to make room for the new Canonsburg High School.[6]
