Two Guys from Texas is a 1948 American made Western-themed musical comedy film starring longtime song-and-dance partners Dennis Morgan and Jack Carson. Directed by David Butler, it was written by Allen Boretz and I.A.L. Diamond, and features Dorothy Malone and Penny Edwards in support.

The picture was a follow-up to Morgan and Carson's previous 'road film', 1946's Two Guys from Milwaukee, one of Warner Bros.' efforts to capture some of the appeal of Paramount's highly successful Bing Crosby and Bob Hope Road pictures.
