Sand Ridge is a ghost town in Houston County, Texas, United States.
It is unknown when it was settled, but it is believed it was before 1900. In the mid-1930s, Sand Ridge had several scattered houses and several businesses. These details remained the same in the mid-1960s, even though many residents left after World War II. By 1990, it became a dispersed community.
The community was located on Texas State Highway 21, approximately 20miles southwest of Crockett in southwestern Houston County.
Sand Ridge had its own school in the mid-1930s. Any residents who live there are within the Lovelady ISD.
