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.

In 2009, the school district was rated "academically acceptable" by the Texas Education Agency.

Kindergarten through fourth grade runs from 8:15 am to 3:45 pm. Grades five through twelve start school at 7:15 am and get out at 2:30 pm.
