Eph Horn, born Evan Evans Horn, (1818-1877)[1] was a blackface minstrel performer from the United States. From Philadelphia, he became successful and toured including in England.[2] He gave a sarcastic soliloquy on women's rights in one of his routines. His son Eoh Horn Jr. also became a minstrel performer.

He performed with Dan Bryant and Bryant's Minstrels at the Boston Museum.[3][4]

A woodcut portrait was made of him.[1]

A list of his performances from 1862-1871 has been compiled.[5]
