In this paper we consider a class of static spacetimes called black holes which can be viewed as the solution of d-dimensional Einstein field equation together with equations of motions of matter fields. In this setup, the d
− 2-dimensional submanifold has to be Einstein with constant

2. Then, we give some examples of static black holes as follows. First, we discuss the case for Einstein vacuum equation. Second, the case of Einstein-matter system will be discussed, namely, Einstein-Maxwell theory, Einstein-Maxwell-Klein-Gordon theory, and Einstein-Skyrme theory.
