Louisiana Highway 88 (LA 88) is a state highway located in Iberia Parish, Louisiana. It runs 5.39 miles (8.67 km) in an east–west direction from LA 89 at Lozes to LA 182 at Burke.
The route connects U.S. Highway 90 (US 90) and LA 182, its de facto business route, between Lafayette and New Iberia. LA 88 also connects US 90 to Delcambre, a town east of Abbeville, via LA 89. It runs through a mixture of older rural and newer suburban development.
From the west, LA 88 begins at an intersection with LA 89 located at a point in northwestern Iberia Parish known as Lozes. LA 89, heading north from Delcambre, makes a sharp turn from Coteau Road west onto Youngsville Road to head toward the small city of Youngsville. LA 88 proceeds straight ahead on Coteau Road for 0.6 miles (0.97 km) then curves to the east. After 1.3 miles (2.1 km), LA 88 passes through an interchange with US 90, the future route of I-49, which connects to Lafayette on the northwest and Morgan City on the southeast.
