The Texas Tycoons were an American Basketball Association (ABA) team based in Fort Worth. The team began play in the fall of 2004. They finished the 2005 season with a 17-9 record, and finished 2nd place in the White Division. They lost in the first round of the playoffs to the Bellevue Blackhawks 101-94.

On December 1, 2005, the Tycoons announced that they were leaving the ABA. A press release noted concerns that the team had discussed with the ABA office, but that they didn't wish to disclose publicly. The Tycoons left with a 3-0 record, ranking third in the ABA's Power Sixteen.

They also became the first ABA team to own their own arena, purchasing a former ice skating rink. Plans for the arena are unclear after the franchise's withdrawal from the ABA.
