The East Texas Bombers is a roller derby league based in Tyler, Texas. Founded in 2005, the league currently consists of a single team which competes against teams from other leagues.

The league were original members of the Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA).[1] However, the Bombers left the organization in mid-2009, becoming only the second league to do so.[2] The league briefly disbanded, but reformed later in the year,[3] with the aim of regaining WFTDA Apprentice membership in 2012.[4] The league's director described the reformed group as a "brand new team".[5]
