Louisiana Highway 101 (LA 101) is a state highway located in southwestern Louisiana. It runs 17.28 miles (27.81 km) in a general north–south direction from LA 14 in Hayes to LA 383 north of Iowa.
An entirely rural route traveling midway between the cities of Lake Charles and Jennings, LA 101 intersects three major highways: U.S. Highway 90 (US 90), Interstate 10 (I-10), and US 165. The majority of the route, running from the southern terminus across I-10, is bannered north–south. The remainder of the route on either side of US 165 runs east–west and is bannered accordingly.
LA 101 was designated in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering, replacing portions of four shorter former routes. These included State Route 1156, State Route 728, State Route 744, and State Route 24-D, a former alignment of US 165.
From the south, LA 101 begins at a junction with LA 14 on the west side of Hayes, an unincorporated community located in Calcasieu Parish. It heads north along a rural section line road and crosses into Jefferson Davis Parish after three miles (4.8 km).
