Louisiana Highway 92 (LA 92) is a state highway located in southern Louisiana. It runs 40.72 miles (65.53 km) in an east–west direction from U.S. Highway 90 (US 90) east of Mermentau to LA 339 in Youngsville.
The route passes through several small villages and unincorporated communities, such as Morse, Indian Bayou, Maurice, and Milton. It traverses the rural area between the parallel US 90 and LA 14 corridors. Many of the highways intersecting LA 92, such as US 167 and LA 35, connect the two corridors and provide access to Interstate 10 (I-10) to the north. The eastern terminus of LA 92 is located just within the corporate limits of Youngsville, a suburban city south of Lafayette.
LA 92 was created in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering from portions of several former state routes. Through most of its existence, the route continued through Youngsville and across US 90 to a junction with LA 31 just south of St. Martinville. This eastern segment became LA 92-1 in 2013 when much of the route within Youngsville was transferred to the city following a highway improvement project, which created a gap in state maintenance. In the future, more of LA 92, extending west from Youngsville to Maurice, is to be eliminated from the state highway system as part of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's (La DOTD) Road Transfer Program.
