We consider nearby young black holes formed after supernova explosions in
close binaries whose secondary components are currently observed as the
so-called runaway stars. Using data on runaway stars and making reasonable
assumptions about the mechanisms of supernova explosions and binary breakup, we
estimate the present position of nearby young black holes. For two objects, we
obtained relatively small error regions ($\sim 50$-100 deg$^2$). The
possibility of detecting these nearby young black holes is discussed.
