La Gaceta Mexicana was a Spanish-language newspaper published in Houston, Texas. It was one of the earliest Mexican-American newspapers in Houston.

José Sarabia first published the newspaper in 1928. A member of the Sarabia family died during the Mexican Revolution since a bandit had killed him. In order to make money in the man's absence, the family established a Mexican grocery store and established the newspaper. The newspaper closed during the first several years of the Great Depression because advertisers canceled their advertisements.

Mary Sarabia, a member of the same family, married Raul Molina, who headed the restaurant chain Molina's.
