Santa Fe Independent School District (SFISD) is a public school district based in Santa Fe, Texas (USA). In addition to Santa Fe, the district serves parts of League City, La Marque, Hitchcock, and Dickinson.

The district was a petitioner of the United States Supreme Court case Santa Fe Independent School Dist. v. Doe, which held that student-led, student-initiated prayer at football games violates the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution.
