Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge, National wildlife refuge in Johnston County, Oklahoma, USA

Tishomingo National Wildlife Refuge is a large protected area in Oklahoma featuring wetlands, grasslands, and wooded sections that meet the water along a lake arm. The landscape combines open water, vegetated shores, and meadows that shift in character with the seasons.

This refuge was established in 1946 to protect birds that migrate through the central part of North America. The creation was tied to the broader effort to preserve wetland habitats that birds depend on during their long journeys.

The refuge lies near the upper Washita arm of Lake Texoma, and its headquarters holds maps, brochures and information on the refuge's history. Hunting and fishing are permitted with the appropriate licences, and no entrance fee is charged. The name comes from the nearby town of Tishomingo, about 7 km to the north-west.
