Felix Huston Robertson (March 9, 1839 April 20, 1928) was a Confederate military officer who was known for being the only native-born Texan to serve as a general in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He was noted for the controversial behavior of his troops at the Battle of Saltville, where an estimated 10–50 wounded Union soldiers of the 5th United States Colored Cavalry were killed on the battlefield and in the field hospital after the fighting.
