Langhorne Library is a historic library building located at Langhorne, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. It was built in 1888, and is a cruciform-shaped, 1 3/4-story, brick structure in a Victorian-Romanesque Revival style. It has a steep, slate covered hipped roof, a narrow cross-gable over the entrance, and smaller gables. The building features pilasters with terra cotta capitals and terra cotta decorative panels. It housed the public library until the 1970s, after which it became home to the Historic Langhorne Association.[2] It continues to house a local history reference library and museum.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1] It is located in the Langhorne Historic District, listed in 1987.
