The Texas Tribune is a nonprofit politics and public policy news website headquartered in Austin, Texas, United States. Its stated aim is to promote civic engagement through original, explanatory journalism and public events.

The Texas Tribune, like the Voice of San Diego and MinnPost before it, is part of a trend toward web-based, non-profit journalism.

In addition to journalism published on its news website, the Tribune permits content re-publication both online and in print.

The Texas Tribune hosts various events and conferences including the Texas Tribune Festival, which attracts national journalists and politicians for interviews and forums.
