Pennsylvania's twentieth congressional district was a congressional district in southwestern Pennsylvania. It was created following the 1830 Census and was disbanded after the 2000 Census removed two representatives from Pennsylvania. The {{ushr|Pennsylvania|18|18th district}} is generally considered to be its successor, although the {{ushr|Pennsylvania|12|12th district}} contains some of its territory.
