Blackman is an unincorporated community in Rutherford County, Tennessee, United States, near the city of Murfreesboro. It is almost large enough to be designated a CDP even though the area does not have a government in place other than the Rutherford County government. Approximately 5,000 to 15,000 residents live in the Blackman area. The community was founded in 1808 and celebrated its 200th birthday at the annual Blackman Barbecue at Blackman Middle School.
Blackman is the site of three schools: Blackman High School, Blackman Middle School, and Blackman Elementary School. Blackman is partly in area code 37128 and partly in area code 37129.
In 2009, the Blackman area was hit hardest by an EF4 tornado. Hundreds of homes were destroyed, and many more were heavily damaged.
