Slocum is an unincorporated community in southeastern Anderson County, Texas, United States. According to the Handbook of Texas, the community had a population of 198 in 2018. It is located within the Palestine, Texas micropolitan area.

Some twenty-two Blacks were documented as killed; other estimates are that up to ten times that number may have been murdered.
