Laneville is an unincorporated community in south central Rusk County, Texas, United States.

This area was settled by wealthy men who enjoyed the redlands and encouraged other people to avoid sandy spots.

The population boomed to 320 when the East Texas Oil Field came in the early 1930s and had 16 businesses in operation.

This boom was short-lived, but Laneville still had several stores and sawmills, three churches, and a cotton gin.

[3] Laneville is located at the intersection of FMs 225 and 1798 near the Angelina River, 12 mi (19 km) south of Henderson and 12 mi (19 km) northwest of Mount Enterprise in south-central Rusk County.
