Marfa is a small town in southern Texas, USA. It is located on a plateau in the largest desert of the North American continent, less than 100 kilometers away from the U.S.-Mexico border. Founded as a railway station in the early 1880s, Marfa later developed into a settled community.

The town has a small population, with 1,788 residents recorded in the 2020 census.
