The Texas Governor's Mansion is a historic home for the governor of Texas in downtown Austin, Texas. Designed by prominent architect Abner Cook, it was built in 1854 and has been the home of every governor since 1856.

On June 8, 2008, while midway through a major renovation, the mansion was badly damaged by an arson fire.
