Mildred is a town in Navarro County, Texas, United States.

Mildred is located seven miles southeast of Corsicana on U.S. Highway 287 in south central Navarro County.

The town was established as a stop on the Texas and Brazos Valley line in the late 1890s.

The town boomed briefly after oil was discovered in 1900 in the Powell-Mildred field, with its population growing to several hundred.

However, by 1905 the boom had ended and the town began to decline, losing its post office in 1907.

After World War II, many of the stores closed and by the mid-1960s, only a school, a church and a handful of houses remained.
