The Heart of Texas Wildlife Trail is a state-designated system of trails and wildlife sanctuaries in Central Texas in the United States. It is one of the four major wildlife trail systems designated by the State of Texas.

The trail system is divided into two main groupings of wildlife viewing sites. The first stretches from the Coleman area, near Abilene, through Austin and San Antonio, to Laredo.{{cite web |title=Heart of Texas East Wildlife Trail — Texas Parks & Wildlife Department |url=https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wildlife/wildlife-trails/hote |website=Texas Parks and Wildlife Department |access-date=January 27, 2021}} The second is a cluster in the Texas Hill Country and southwest Rio Grande Valley bounded roughly by San Angelo, Del Rio, and Fredericksburg.{{cite web |title=Heart of Texas West Wildlife Trail — Texas Parks & Wildlife Department |url=https://tpwd.texas.gov/huntwild/wildlife/wildlife-trails/hotw |website=Texas Parks and Wildlife Department |access-date=January 27, 2021}}
