Louisiana Highway 138 (LA 138) is a state highway located in Morehouse Parish, Louisiana. It runs 12.75 miles (20.52 km) in a north–south direction from LA 134 south of Collinston to a junction with U.S. Highway 165 (US 165), U.S. Highway 425 (US 425), and LA 2 in Mer Rouge.
A largely rural route, LA 138 connects the small villages of Collinston and Mer Rouge, located northeast of Monroe. Its southern terminus (LA 134) leads to Monroe in neighboring Ouachita Parish, as well as the village of Oak Ridge in southern Morehouse Parish. The northern terminus is located at the east end of the concurrency of US 165 and US 425. The two highways split toward Monroe and the Arkansas state line, respectively, after heading west into Bastrop, the parish seat.
From the south, LA 138 begins at an intersection with LA 134 (Coulee Swamp Road) in southern Morehouse Parish. LA 134 connects to the city of Monroe on the southwest and the village of Oak Ridge on the east. LA 138 proceeds northward along Doss Highway through rural farmland and crosses the Union Pacific Railroad tracks at a point known as Windsor. 1.7 miles (2.7 km) later, LA 138 intersects LA 554 (Perryville Road), which heads west to US 165 between Monroe and Bastrop. Here, the highway curves to the northeast and heads into Collinston.
