Hostyn is an unincorporated community in central Fayette County, Texas, United States.

It was settled by Czech settlers and named after Hostýn, a hill in Moravia, Czech Republic.

The name was a play on words, now an old family joke, intended on thwarting the annual visit of the town founders' mother-in-law.[citation needed]
