Tennyson is an unincorporated community in southeastern Coke County, Texas, United States.

Englishman Samuel Sayner, who established the town in 1882, named it after the British poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson.

In 1910, when the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway started service, just 20 people were living there.

In 1940, Tennyson had 50 residents; by 1980, that number had dropped to 35, despite the post office continuing to be open.

[4] Tennyson is located at the intersection of Farm to Market Road 2333 and U.S. Route 287, 10 mi (16 km) northwest of Bronte in central Coke County, near Mount Margaret.
