Gruene (/ˈɡriːn/ green)[2] is a German-Texan town in Comal County in the U.S. state of Texas.

Gruene, a German surname, (pronounced "Green") is now a district within the city limits of New Braunfels, and much of it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on April 21, 1975. The city is known for its German-Texan heritage and architecture and many residents of Gruene and New Braunfels are descendants of the first German settlers.
