San Pedro is a ghost town in Houston County, Texas, United States.
San Pedro was founded in the 1840s and had a post office from 1848 to 1857 and from 1858 to 1905. A Presbyterian Church was organized in 1889. In the 1930s the community consisted of a church, a cemetery, and several houses. By the 1990s, only the church, cemetery, and scattered houses remained.
