The Springhill mining disaster is the term often used to refer to three separate Canadian mining disasters which occurred in 1891, 1956, and 1958 in different mines within the Springhill coal field, in close proximity to the town of Springhill in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia.
The mines in the Springhill Coal Field were established in the 19th century and by the early 1880s were being worked by the Cumberland Coal and Railway Company and the Springhill and Parrsboro Coal and Railway Company.
Ewan MacColl and Peggy Seeger composed "The Ballad of Springhill" based on the 1958 disaster.
