Federal Prison Camp, Bryan (FPC Bryan) is a minimum-security United States federal prison for female inmates in Bryan, Texas. It is operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, a division of the United States Department of Justice. Opened in July 1989, the prison is located in a 37-acre (15-hectare) compound. It is designed to hold short-term offenders with average sentences of five years or less.

FPC Bryan is located 95 miles (153 km) northwest of Houston. FPC Bryan along with FPC Lewisburg and FPC Lompoc have the lowest security rating of all the federal institutions, other than community corrections centers as those are known as halfway houses. Due to the low classification, most of these facilities have no fence and a low staff-to-inmate ratio.
