Louisiana Highway 75 (LA 75) is a state highway located in southeastern Louisiana. It runs 46.86 miles (75.41 km) in a general east–west direction from a dead end in Bayou Pigeon to the junction of LA 22 and LA 942 in Darrow.
The route makes a semi-circle through Iberville and Ascension parishes. About halfway along the way, it passes through the city of Plaquemine and crosses the Mississippi River via ferry. LA 75 travels through a variety of surroundings, ranging from remote swampland along the Grand River on its western end to a mixture of rural farmland and petrochemical plants along the Mississippi River on its eastern end. Major junctions include LA 1 in Plaquemine, the main route connecting the communities situated along the west bank of the Mississippi River. After crossing the river, intersections with LA 74, LA 73, and LA 22 provide connections to the parallel Interstate 10 (I-10) and U.S. Highway 61 (US 61).
