The Episcopal Diocese of West Texas is the diocese of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America whose territory comprises the southernmost part of the state of Texas.

The see city is San Antonio, and the diocese includes the cities of Corpus Christi, and Brownsville. (The westernmost part of Texas, including El Paso, is actually part of the Episcopal Diocese of the Rio Grande, which also covers New Mexico.)

Organized by a division of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas in 1874, it had (as of 2017) 87 churches, 26,000 active baptized members, and an Average Sunday Attendance of 10,592. The diocese and its parishes sponsor twenty-eight parochial schools and preschools, including TMI — The Episcopal School of Texas (founded as "West Texas Military Academy"), a boarding college preparatory school on the outskirts of San Antonio. The diocese was also instrumental in the founding of St. Philip's College, which became a public community college in 1942.

The largest parishes in the diocese are Christ Church, San Antonio, St Mark's, San Antonio, St Luke's, San Antonio and Good Shepherd, Corpus Christi.

The Diocese of West Texas is part of Province VII.
