Floyd Douglas Culbertson, Jr. (April 15, 1908 – April 28, 1989), was a lawyer in Louisiana, Texas, and Oklahoma, who from 1940 to 1942 was the mayor of his native Minden, the seat of government of Webster Parish in northwestern Louisiana. He resigned early in his second term to enter the United States Army with stateside service in World War II.
Culbertson's parents were Floyd Culbertson, Sr. (1879–1958) and the former Mary Leana "Mollie" Alford (1887–1977), who was a native of Cherry Ridge in Union Parish in North Louisiana. Culbertson had a sister, Mary, and three brothers, John, Jim and Roy. He graduated in 1926 from Minden High School. He graduated in 1930 from Southern Baptist-affiliated Louisiana College in Pineville.
Culbertson studied for the Louisiana bar in the office of Clifford Hayes in Minden. He was admitted to the practice of law in 1937. Much later, in 1952, he graduated from the Dedman School of Law at Southern Methodist University in University Park, near Dallas, Texas.
