Warwick Township is a township in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 14,437 at the 2010 census.

History is closely tied to several existing structures. The Neshaminy Presbyterian Church is one of the earliest religious associations in Pennsylvania, dating back to 1726. The Moland House was General George Washington's headquarters when 11,000 Continental Army troops camped in Warwick Township from August 10 to August 23, 1777, while on their way to the Battle of Brandywine. The encampment stretched along both sides of Old York Road, on the slope of Carr's Hill to the north, on both sides of Bristol Road, from Mearns Road to Meetinghouse Road. General Washington held a "Council of War" with his four major generals and six brigadier generals in the Moland House. There are nearby historical homes such as the Reading Furnace, which was owned by prominent ironmaster Samuel Van Leer.

While in Warwick Township, the American flag that was designed by Betsy Ross was presented to General Washington, and Warwick Township was the site where the American flag was first flown.

The Bridge Valley Bridge and Moland House are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
