"Missing Years" is the title of a studio album by the American country music band Little Texas. Released in 2007 on Montage Music Group, it is their first studio album for that label, and their first studio album since 1997's "Little Texas". It is also the first studio album not to feature former co-lead vocalists Brady Seals and Tim Rushlow. Here, lead guitarist Porter Howell serves as lead vocalist, and the other three remaining members (drummer Del Gray, rhythm guitarist Dwayne O'Brien, and bass guitarist Duane Propes) are retained.

Overall, this album produced three singles in "Your Woman", the title track, and "Party Life". While neither "Your Woman" nor "Party Life" charted, "Missing Years" reached #45 on the Hot Country Songs charts in 2007, giving the band its first chart single in ten years.
