McDade is a census-designated place (CDP) in northern Bastrop County, Texas, United States, located along U.S. Route 290. As of the 2020 census, it had a population of 720. It is 9 miles (14 km) east of Elgin and 34 miles (55 km) east of Austin. It is 21 miles (34 km) west of Giddings.

This was a new CDP for the 2010 census.

The community is named for James W. McDade, a major stockholder in the Houston and Texas Central Railroad in 1869.

The McDade Independent School District serves area students.

McDade was, for several years, the childhood home of 1950s television and recording star Gale Storm, as her mother owned a millinery shop in McDade.

McDade Pottery, which operated from 1863 to 1942, is the most successful business ever to exist in the town.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 4.0 square miles (10 km2), all land.

McDade first appeared as a census designated place in the 2010 U.S. census.
