Louisiana Highway 141 (LA 141) is a state highway located in Iberville Parish, Louisiana. It exists in two disconnected sections totaling 4.07 miles (6.55 km) along Point Clair Road within the city of St. Gabriel.

The route travels through a sparsely populated area along the east bank levee of the Mississippi River opposite the town of White Castle. It is located on either side of a sharp bend in the river known as Point Clair, which is bypassed by LA 75. The southern portion of LA 141 serves the Gillis W. Long Center operated by the Louisiana Army National Guard. Historically the facility served as the Carville National Leprosarium and today contains the National Hansen's Disease Museum. LA 141 also served to connect LA 75 with the White Castle Ferry until its permanent closure in June 2013.

From the south, LA 141 begins at an intersection with LA 75 in an area within St. Gabriel known as Carville. From this intersection, LA 75 turns north from Point Clair Road onto Martin Luther King Parkway while LA 141 continues straight ahead in a southwest direction along the Mississippi River levee. After passing in front of the Gillis W. Long Center, state maintenance ends, and a private gravel road continues around the bend in the river known as Point Clair.
