Farm to Market Road 1459 (FM 1459) is a farm to market road in Brazoria County, Texas.
FM 1459 begins at a blinking light, at the intersection of FM 524 in the heart of Sweeny. Traveling along Second Street, the highway makes two 90 degree curves: one to the northwest, passing Sweeny Community Hospital, then to the northeast, leaving town in a northerly direction. It crosses FM 522 and then SH 35 to the southwest of West Columbia. FM 1459 turns to the northwest, passing small communities such as Camp Karankawa alongside the San Bernard River, to its northern end at FM 1301 near Danciger.
FM 1459 was designated in 1949, from SH 35 to FM 524 in Sweeny. The northern extension from SH 35 to FM 1301 occurred in 1965.
The entire route is in Brazoria County.
