The Lone Star Conference (or LSC) is a College Athletic Conference affiliated with the NCAA’s Division II. Member institutions are located in the southwestern United States, with schools in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The conference was formed in 1931 when the five charter members withdrew from the old Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. For scheduling purposes, the conference is divided into two divisions--North and South--in some sports.

Charter members included East Texas State (now Texas A&M-Commerce), North Texas State (now North Texas), Sam Houston State, Southwest Texas State (now Texas State), and Stephen F. Austin.

Former members (and years of membership, when known) include Harding (1995-2000), Howard Payne, Houston (1946-1948), Lamar, McMurry, North Texas State (1931-19xx), Ouachita Baptist (1995-2000), Sam Houston State (1931-19xx), Southwest Texas State (1931-1987), Stephen F. Austin (1931-19xx), Sul Ross State, and Trinity.
