Louisiana Highway 641 (LA 641) is a state highway in Louisiana that serves St. James Parish. It travels 6.9 miles (11.1 km) in the shape of a capital J, starting northwest, veering northeast, and then turning north, serving the communities of Lutcher and Gramercy and providing a connection to Interstate 10 (I-10) for those towns.
LA 641 starts at LA 44 (Jefferson Highway) in Lutcher and traverses north on Albert Street. It then crosses the Illinois Central Railroad and goes eastward on West Main Street. LA 641 intersects Lutcher Avenue (LA 3193) and North Airline Avenue (LA 3274, which was formerly LA 20). East of North Airline, the street is called East Main Street. Past Golden Grove Road, LA 641 resumes a north-south routing to meet LA 3125 near the Kansas City Southern Railway. The two highways are concurrent for 0.2 miles (0.32 km) until LA 3125 ends at a junction with LA 3213. From that ending, LA 641, traverses north, crossing the Kansas City Southern Railway and Airline Highway (U.S. Route 61) and traverses north through the Maurepas Swamp. LA 641 ends at I-10 where it crosses the highway at milepost 194.
