For the community in northeast Collin County, Texas formerly called Seven Points, see Westminster, Texas.

Seven Points is a city in Henderson County, Texas. The population was 1,145 at the 2000 census.

The city is named for an intersection where seven roads converge. These are not Old West wagon trails, however; the town did not exist until nearby Cedar Creek Reservoir was built in the 1960s, and was not incorporated until the 1970s. The seven roads consist of two state highways (three directions), a farm-to-market road, and three county roads.
