Le Texas Panhandle est une région de l'État américain du Texas comprenant les 26 comtés les plus septentrionaux de l'État. La panhandle (« queue de poêle ») est une zone rectangulaire, bordée par le Nouveau-Mexique à l'ouest et l'Oklahoma au nord (Oklahoma Panhandle) et à l'est. Sa superficie est de 66 884 km² plus 163 km² d'eau et représente environ 10 % de la superficie du Texas. Sa population est de 402 862 habitants soit seulement 1,93 % de la population totale de l'État. Plus de la moitié de la population vit dans l'aire urbaine d'Amarillo, la principale ville.

Le Panhandle est distinct du Nord Texas, qui se situe plus au sud-est.

Panhandle est aussi le nom d'une ville du comté de Carson, au centre du Texas Panhandle.
