Rushland is an unincorporated community that is located in the northwestern corner of Wrightstown Township, Bucks County, Pennsylvania, United States.

Some authorities claim that the name of the hamlet, first Rush Valley and later Rushland, was due to the availability of "scouring rushes" used by early settlers for cleaning pots and pans.

On December 29, 1883 a post office was established under the name Rush Valley.

Located along the Mill Creek near Rushland was a settlement started by Italian immigrants, who came to the area as laborers when the railroad was being built in the last decade of the nineteenth century.
