Berryville is a town in southeastern Henderson County, Texas, sitting on the western shore of Lake Palestine on both sides of Cobb Inlet along State Highway 155.

The Berryville settlement grew up after the Civil War on Lake Palestine along the Neches River, according to the Handbook of Texas.

A post office opened in Berryville in 1871, and by 1885 the community had Methodist, Baptist, and Christian churches, a district school, two general stores, two grocers, and a gristmill-gin, with a reported population of 500.

Berryville declined in the late 1890s, its post office closed in 1905, and by the mid-1930s only a church and a number of houses remained in the area.

The construction of Lake Palestine nearby in the early 1960s revived Berryville as a largely residential lakeside community.

Berryville incorporated during the 1980s, after its population reached 362 in 1980 and grew to 749 residents by 1990.

The 2020 census counted 824 people in Berryville, down from 975 in 2010, with 493 households and 376 families residing in the town.
