Elijah Funk Pennypacker (November 20, 1804 – January 4, 1888) was a politician, abolitionist and station master in the Underground Railroad in the United States, in the years leading up to the American Civil War.

Pennypacker's home, White Horse Farm, was a safe house during the time that he participated in the Underground Railroad.

As a station master in the Underground Railroad, Pennypacker reportedly aided hundreds of fugitive slaves in their escape to freedom, without any having been apprehended by authorities or by bounty hunters.

[6] During the time that Pennypacker was active in the Underground Railroad, runaway slaves typically traveled along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay, crossing the Susquehanna River at Havre de Grace, Maryland, and then on to Pennypacker's safe house (depot in the Underground Railroad) in Phoenixville.

At that point, Pennypacker helped them to various cities in southeast Pennsylvania, including Philadelphia, Norristown, Quakertown, and Reading, from where the fugitive slaves could realize their freedom.

[10] Pennypacker's safe house was his family home, Whitehorse Farm, originally constructed in 1770 and located in Schuylkill Township, Pennsylvania.

[5] Abolitionist John G. Whittier paid tribute to Pennypacker stating: In mind, body, and brave championship of the cause of freedom he was one of the most remarkable men I ever knew.
