Plainview is a ghost town in southwestern Wharton County in the U.S. state of Texas.

It was located at the intersection of Farm to Market Road 441 (FM 441) and Farm to Market Road 1163 (FM 1163), southwest of El Campo.

The town hall building still existed in 2014, but there were only a few homes nearby.

The school required four mule-drawn wagons at a cost of $100 per month in order to haul the students to class.

Altogether, the Plainview school district covered 40 sections.
