The Texas Longhorns baseball team represents The University of Texas at Austin and competes in the Big 12 Conference of NCAA Division I.

The Texas Longhorns are the winningest program in college baseball history, both in terms of total wins and in terms of win percentage. Texas holds the records for most appearances in the College World Series (32) and most individual CWS games won (78). The Longhorns have won six NCAA baseball national championships (1949, 1950, 1975, 1983, 2002, and 2005) — second only to Southern California's total of 12 — and have appeared in the CWS Championship Game or Championship Series on five other occasions (1953, 1984, 1985, 1989, and 2004). As of the end of the 2008 season, Texas has won 74 regular season conference championships and 14 conference tournament championships in baseball.

Former Longhorns who have gone on to success in Major League Baseball include Roger Clemens, Calvin Schiraldi, Burt Hooton, Keith Moreland, Spike Owen, Greg Swindell, and Huston Street.

Since 1997, the Longhorns have been led by head coach Augie Garrido, the winningest coach in NCAA baseball history. The team plays its home games at Disch-Falk Field.
