Farm to Market Road 1764, or FM 1764, is a state highway in the U.S. state of Texas. Its western terminus is at State Highway 6 in Santa Fe and travels generally to the east, ending at North Bay St in Texas City. The end is 1 block from The Texas City Dike, which after Hurricane Ike of September 2008, was unable to drive on. The entire length of road lies within Galveston County.

From Interstate 45 to Texas-146, FM 1764 is built to freeway standards and incorporates frontage roads. This section is formally known as the Emmett F. Lowry Expressway (See Below). From Texas-146 to its ending it is not built up to highway standards, like the section from Texas-6 to I-45.
