Colerain Township is a township in southeastern Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 3,883 at the 2020 census,[1] up from 3,635 at the 2010 census. It is part of the Solanco School District.

Colerain Township was organized as a township in 1738. It was settled mainly by the Irish and was named after Coleraine, a seaport town in County Londonderry, now in Northern Ireland. Records show that Presbyterian Scots and Scotch-Irish also moved into Colerain Township very early into its settlement.

According to the 2020 "ACS 5-Year Estimates Data Profiles", 61.8% of the township's population spoke only English, while 38.1 spoke an "other [than Spanish] Indo-European language"[1] (basically Pennsylvania German/German).
