The Dallas 1957 chess tournament was played in Hotel Adolphus in Dallas, then the tallest building in Texas, from November 30 to December 16, 1957. The main event was a contest among eight players from seven countries. Three Polish-born grandmasters participated; Samuel Reshevsky, Miguel Najdorf and Daniel Yanofsky. David Bronstein from the Soviet Union got no visa for a visit to Texas. Pál Benkő defeated Ken Smith in a match that was played as a side event.
