Louisiana Highway 122 (LA 122) is a state highway located in Grant Parish, Louisiana. It runs 26.09 miles (41.99 km) in an east–west direction from the junction of U.S. Highway 71 (US 71) and LA 1239-1 in Montgomery to LA 123 in Dry Prong.

The highway traverses a thickly forested area between the town of Montgomery and the village of Dry Prong, two small municipalities in Grant Parish, located in the central portion of the state. Along its route, LA 122 passes through the small rural communities of Hargis, Verda, and Faircloth. The eastern portion of the route between Lake Iatt and Dry Prong is largely located within the Kisatchie National Forest.

From the west, LA 122 begins at an intersection with US 71 in Montgomery, a small town in Grant Parish. The intersection is also a junction with LA 1239-1 (Old Jefferson Highway), a minor local route. LA 122 heads northeast from Montgomery into a thickly wooded rural area. Over the next 7 miles (11 km), small clusters of homes sporadically line the highway at such points as the tiny community of Hargis. As it approaches the Winn Parish line, LA 122 curves to the southeast through the twin communities of Verda and New Verda. Here, the highway intersects LA 1240, which heads due south to a point on US 71 near Aloha. Shortly afterward, LA 122 begins a brief concurrency with LA 471, which heads north toward Winnfield, the seat of neighboring Winn Parish. Just beyond New Verda, LA 471 continues ahead to the south while LA 122 turns eastward onto an intersecting road.
