Careful What You Wish For is the sixth album by Scottish rock band Texas, released 20 October 2003.

Released on the backdrop of their 2000 compilation album The Greatest Hits which had sold over four million copies internationally by the time Careful What You Wish For was released, it spawned two singles, the commercial successful "Carnival Girl", featuring Canadian rapper Kardinal Offishall, and the second single, "I'll See It Through", which failed to match the success of "Carnival Girl".

Described as "most diverse & ambitious album to date" upon release in 2003, it features collaborations with Sun Cycle, pop producer and former The Buggles singer and bassist Trevor Horn, studio producer Kingbird, Ceri 'Sunship' Evans, songwriter Guy Chambers and Spike Stent.
