Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop is a site in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana.

Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop is a tavern located on the corner of Bourbon Street and St. Philip Street. The tavern's building, built sometime before 1772, is one of the older still standing structures in New Orleans (the Ursuline Convent, for example, is older) and has been called the oldest continually occupied bar in the United States. According to legend the structure was once owned by the pirate Jean Lafitte, though as with many things involving Lafitte, no documentation of this exists.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/70000255.pdf National Survey of Historic Sites and Buildings: Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop] |151 KiB |date=May 10, 1968 |author=Charles W.
