Huffman is an unincorporated area of northeastern Harris County, Texas within the Houston–Sugar Land–Baytown metropolitan area. The area is centered on Farm-To-Market Roads 2100 and 1960, thirty miles northeast of downtown Houston.

It was established in 1839 by David Huffman, who was awarded 200 acres. A post office was established at the community in 1888, and two blacksmith shops were operating here by 1892. The Beaumont, Sour Lake and Western Railway came through the community in the early 1900s. By 1914 the town reported two general stores and a population of 250. The 1936 county highway map showed a church and cemetery at the townsite. Huffman's population was reported as fifty from the 1940s through the early 1990s; by 2000 the population reached 250 with 192 businesses.
