The East Texas Bombers is a women's flat track roller derby league based in Lufkin, Texas. Founded in 2005, the league currently consists of a single team which competes against teams from other leagues.

The league was a founding member of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1] However, the Bombers left the organization in mid-2009, becoming only the second league to do so.[2] The league briefly disbanded, but reformed later in the year,[3] with the aim of regaining WFTDA Apprentice membership in 2012.[4] The league's director described the reformed group as a "brand new team".[5] As of 2016, the league comprised members from Lufkin, Central, Texas, Hudson, Texas, and Huntington, Texas.[6]
