Louisiana Highway 9 (LA 9) is a state highway located in northern Louisiana. It runs 100.74 miles (162.13 km) in a north–south direction from the concurrent U.S. Highways 71 and 84 (US 71-84) in Campti to a junction with the concurrent US 63 and US 167 in Junction City.
The highway traverses the thick piney woods of northern Louisiana roughly midway between the parallel US 167 and US 371 corridors. Over the northern half of its route, LA 9 connects the towns of Arcadia and Homer - the seats of Bienville and Claiborne parishes, respectively - with Interstate 20 (I-20), the main highway across northern Louisiana. LA 9 also passes through a number of smaller rural villages, such as Saline, Lucky, Bienville, Bryceland, and Athens.
