District 4 is a district in the Texas House of Representatives. It was created in the 3rd legislature (1849–1851).

The district has been represented by Republican Keith Bell since January 8, 2019, upon his initial election to the Texas House.[1]

As a result of redistricting after the 2020 Federal census, from the 2022 elections the district encompasses all of Kaufman County and the northwestern portion of Henderson County. Major cities in the district include Forney, Kaufman, and Terrell, and the majority of Athens.[2] The district also includes the main campus of Trinity Valley Community College and all of Cedar Creek Reservoir.
