Texel (prononcé en néerlandais : /ˈtɛ.səl/) est une île néerlandaise en mer du Nord, formant une commune de la province de Hollande-Septentrionale. Elle est séparée du continent par le bras de mer du Marsdiep et la mer des Wadden. L’île est la plus grande, la plus peuplée et la plus occidentale de l’archipel frison, qui s’étend jusqu’au Danemark. L'usage en français est de parler de l'île du Texel mais de la commune de Texel. Texel est réputée pour sa faune, notamment en hiver, lorsque les oiseaux de proie et les oies sauvages viennent y séjourner.
