Matagorda Bay is a large bay on the Texas coast, located between Calhoun and Matagorda counties. The Colorado River empties into the bay on its way to the Gulf of Mexico. The bay is separated from the gulf by Matagorda Peninsula. The city of Port O'Connor is located on its shores.


Matagorda Bay has several named extensions. Lavaca Bay extends westward to the mouth of the Lavaca River, and is home to the city of Port Lavaca. Tres Palacios Bay extends northeast to the mouth of the Tres Palacios River, and connects to the city of Palacios. Other inlets include Turtle Bay, Carancahua Bay, Keller Bay, and Cox Bay.
