The 7th Texas Infantry Regiment, also known as "Gregg's regiment", was an infantry formation of the Confederate States Army in the Western theater of the American Civil War.

The regiment was captured at Fort Donelson and sent to Northern prison camps. After the survivors were exchanged and new recruits added, the regiment was reconstituted and fought at Raymond, Jackson, Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, and Ringgold Gap. It served in the Atlanta campaign and at Franklin, Nashville, Averasborough, and Bentonville. Surviving members of the regiment were paroled at Greensboro, North Carolina, on May 1, 1865.
