Fox Run is a neighborhood located in Cranberry Township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It was one of the first housing areas built in the Township. About 320 homes were constructed on a 131-acre piece of land in the late 1960s.

Fox Run used to be called a "census-designated place" (CDP). This means it was an area that the United States Census Bureau defined just for collecting population data. However, this special name was removed in 2013. Officials from Cranberry Township explained that people using online maps sometimes thought Fox Run was the name of the entire township, which caused confusion.
