The Hewitt family is a fictional family featured in the Texas Chainsaw Massacre film franchise. Specifically, it refers to a group featured in the remake series, which began with the 2003 version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and continued in the 2006 prequel film, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning.

The Hewitt family can trace their lineage back six generations, when they settled in the rural community of Fuller in Travis County, Texas. The Hewitt family worked in the meat industry and operated and/or worked at notable local slaughterhouses such as the Lee Bros. Meat Processing Plant and the Blair Meat Company.

It has been suggested that amongst their more well-known unsavory practices, the family line continued along as a result of inbreeding. The most notable members of the family earned themselves some recognition in the late 1960s and early 1970s. In addition to everything else, the Hewitts evolved into a family of cannibals.

The familial relationship between its various members is cause for speculation. One of the most notorious members of the family, Thomas Hewitt, was actually the son of a meat inspector named Sloane, who was adopted by the Hewitts in 1939 after Luda May Hewitt found the infant in a dumpster moments after it had been born.
