The '''Black Tiger Spring''' ({{zh|c={{linktext|黑|虎|泉}}|p=Hēi Hǔ Quán}}) is a culturally significant [[Artesian aquifer|artesian]] [[karst spring]] located in the city of [[Jinan]], [[Shandong]] [[Province of China|Province]], [[China]]. The spring is ranked as the second most significant among the 72 named springs in Jinan (after the [[Baotu Spring]]). The water of the spring stems from moderately-deep circulation<ref name=Fangetal1988>{{Cite web |url=http://md1.csa.com/partners/viewrecord.php?requester=gs&collection=ENV&recid=9003110&q=jinan+spring&uid=788597020&setcookie=yes |title=Fang, P., Cao, Y., Tang, K., Li, X., Wang, S.

From the mouth of the cave, the water is funneled to flow out of the mouths of three ornamental stone-carved tiger heads into a square-shaped spring pool. From there it runs into the old city moat, next to which the spring is located. According to the tradition, there was a black rock lying in front of the cave in ancient times.<ref name=gochinatravel>[http://www.gochinatravel.com/n2169c174.aspx online article from www.gochinatravel.com] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081016000054/http://www.gochinatravel.com/n2169c174.aspx |date=October 16, 2008 }}</ref> The name of the spring is said to be derived from the shape and color of the rock, which resembled a black tiger, and the sound of the water gushing past the rock being reminiscent of the roar of a tiger. The ancient layout of the spring is described in a poem by the [[Ming Dynasty]] poet, Yan Bizeng.<ref name=gochinatravel/><br />
