Wylie is an unincorporated community in Taylor County, Texas, United States. The once predominantly rural area has developed into a thriving suburban bedroom community as the city of Abilene expanded in the latter half of the 20th century. A significant portion of Wylie now lies within the city limits of Abilene, although a few areas often associated with the community are located outside of the city and remain unincorporated.

Though much of Wylie is now located within the far southern portion of Abilene,[1] the area has retained a distinct identity through its public school system, the Wylie Independent School District.
