The 38th Field Artillery Regiment is a field artillery regiment of the United States Army.
On 17 August 1918, the 38th Field Artillery was organized as a regiment at Camp Lewis, Washington. It trained at that station until 10 February 1919, when the regiment was demobilized. Subsequently, on 1 October 1933, the 38th Field Artillery Regiment was reconstituted as an inactive unit of the regular Army.

On 10 October 1939, the Fifteenth Field Artillery Regiment at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, was re-organized and given a 3rd battalion. Now, however, began the Army's program of modernization, which involved triangularization of the infantry division. in accordance with this program, the Fifteenth's 3rd Battalion was reconstituted as the Thirty-eighth Field Artillery Battalion on 1 October 1940.
