Lake Texana State Park is a state park in Texas, United States and is located in Jackson County, halfway between Houston and Corpus Christi on Lake Texana.

The park was acquired by a 50-year lease agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation/Lavaca-Navidad River Authority in 1977 and was opened in September 1981.

The majority of the park land consists of mixed oak and pecan woodlands. White-tailed deer, squirrels, rabbits, armadillos, and raccoons are numerous. There are occasional sightings of bobcats and wild turkeys. Alligators are also found in the park.
