Louisiana Highway 15 (LA 15) is a state highway in Louisiana. It spans 194.52 miles (313.05 km), serving northeastern Louisiana, providing direct access to US 84 and Baton Rouge.
LA 15 begins as an exit from U.S. Route 167 just south of Lillie and heads due east towards Spearsville. From Spearsville, LA 15 turns to the southeast and shortly merges with LA 2 and LA 33 in Farmerville. LA 15 then turns southeastward again, leaves Union Parish, and enters Ouachita Parish. LA 15 then heads due south and merges with U.S. Route 80. U.S. 80/LA 15 then turns east through Claiborne, West Monroe and turns southeast and intersects with Interstate 20, southwest of downtown Monroe. It then meets US 165 before meeting LA 831, also known as Prairie Road.
LA 15 continues east-southeast through Ouachita Parish and passes through rural Richland Parish, where LA 15 crosses the Boeuf River on a historic truss bridge, dating from 1939. It then turns due south and is joined by U.S. Route 425 near Archibald, in a concurrence which continues to Ferriday.
