Louisiana Highway 69 (LA 69) is a state highway located in southeastern Louisiana. It runs 15.36 miles (24.72 km) in a general north–south direction from LA 70 in Grand Bayou to LA 1 northwest of White Castle.

The route traverses the small town of White Castle, located on the west bank of the Mississippi River in Iberville Parish. It connects the town and surrounding farmland with the narrow ribbon of communities within the vast Atchafalaya Swamp situated along LA 70 and LA 75 on the Belle and Lower Grand rivers. LA 69 was designated in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering from portions of several former state routes.

From the south, LA 69 begins at a junction with LA 70 in an area of northern Assumption Parish known as Grand Bayou. The route heads north alongside the waterway of the same name through thickly wooded swampland. After 2.8 miles (4.5 km), LA 69 crosses into Iberville Parish and intersects LA 996, which leads to the community of Bruly St. Martin. The highway continues through the swamp for another 2.8 miles (4.5 km), at which point the surroundings begin to transition to dry farmland. 3.0 miles (4.8 km) later, LA 69 passes through the rural community of Samstown and intersects LA 404.
