The Lucky Texan is a 1934 Lonestar Films B-movie western film featuring John Wayne, five years before his breakthrough appearance in Stagecoach, Barbara Sheldon, Gabby Hayes, and legendary stuntman/actor Yakima Canutt. It was directed by Robert N. Bradbury who also wrote it.

The plot concerns Wayne finding gold and making the mistake of trusting the local assayer.
