Clairton is a city in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, United States. It is located along the Monongahela River and is part of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. The population was 6,181 at the 2020 census, and was estimated to be 5,945 in 2024. Under Pennsylvania legal classifications for local governments, Clairton is considered a third-class city. It is home to U.S. Steel's Clairton Coke Works, the largest coke manufacturing facility in North America.
The city was the setting for the movie The Deer Hunter (1978), although none of the movie was actually filmed there (other mill towns in the Monongahela River Valley and elsewhere in the tri-state area were used).
The Montour Trail, a recreational rail-trail, extends from Clairton to Coraopolis, Pennsylvania.
