Briscoe Cain is an American politician. He is a Republican member of the Texas House of Representatives, representing the 128th District. In the 2016 Republican primary election, Cain defeated incumbent Wayne Smith by 23 votes. In the general election, Cain defeated Libertarian candidate Ken Lowder.

Texas Monthly noted in their summary of the Texas Legislature's budget vote on April 7, 2017 that "Cain offered an amendment promoted by Empower Texans to strip funding from the Palliative Care Council, calling it a 'death panel' that makes decisions about whether people live or die. Appropriations chairman John Zerwas, a Republican and medical doctor, then took to the back microphone to demand to know whether Cain knew what palliative care is. (FYI, it is a method of caring for a terminally ill patient to ease their pain and anxiety.) Cain desperately started cutting his eyes back and forth, seeking help that wasn’t coming. He told Zerwas that as a doctor he probably knew the definition better than he, an attorney. In this contest of will, Cain blinked and pulled his amendment down."
