Les Old Three Hundred (en français : « Trois cents anciens »), c'est ainsi que l'on nomme les 297 acquéreurs, constitués de familles ou d'hommes célibataires, qui achetèrent 307 parcelles de terre à Stephen Fuller Austin, entre 1824 et 1828, puis établirent une colonie dans l'actuel comté de Brazoria au Sud-Est du Texas.

The "Old Three Hundred" were 297 grantees who purchased 307 parcels of land from Stephen Fuller Austin in Mexican Texas. Each grantee was head of a household, or, in some cases, a partnership of married men. Austin was an American approved in 1822 by Mexico as an empresario for this effort, after the nation had gained independence from Spain. By 1825 the colony had a population of 1,790, including 443 enslaved African Americans. Because the Americans believed they needed enslaved workers, Austin negotiated with the Mexican government to gain approval, as the new nation was opposed to slavery. Mexico abolished it in 1837.

The colony encompassed an area that ran from the Gulf of Mexico on the south, to near present-day Jones Creek in Brazoria County, Brenham in Washington County, Navasota in Grimes County, and La Grange in Fayette County. It was the first authorized colony of Anglo-American settlers and enslaved African Americans in Mexico.
