Long, Tall Texans is a series by Diana Palmer. Launched 1988 in the Silhouette Romance imprint, it extended into the Silhouette Desire and Silhouette Special Edition line. All titles have the logo "Long, Tall Texans" on the front or back cover.

The stories are mostly set in and around the fictional town of Jacobsville, Texas. It is the setting for many other novels by Diana Palmer as well. Thus the series now also includes novellas, a few Harlequin titles and Romantic Suspense by Mira and HQN, released in Hardcover. The later don't mention the Long, Tall Texans series, but are linked through the same personnel. Diana Palmer launched her Hardcover releases by introducing some of their heroes and hinting on their stories in Lionhearted.
