Hebron is a town in Denton County, Texas, United States. A very small portion of the town extends into Collin County. The population was 874 at the 2000 census.

For the last 10 years, Hebron has deannexed large portions of its territory to neighboring communities (Lewisville, The Colony, Carrollton, and Plano), to be annexed by those communities instead. The original goal was for Hebron to disappear entirely as an incorporated community, but recently-elected leaders have attempted to reverse the situation and allow Hebron to continue as a city. Whether this can succeed is uncertain.
