Louisiana Highway 14 (LA 14) is a state highway located in southern Louisiana. It runs 100.10 miles (161.10 km) in an east–west direction from the junction of U.S. Highways 90 and 171 in Lake Charles to LA 182 in New Iberia.
The highway connects a string of small communities and cities in the Acadiana region of the state at a distance of roughly 20 to 25 miles (32 to 40 km) from the Gulf of Mexico. It connects three parish seats and traverses four parishes, briefly passing through the corner of a fifth. The majority of the route runs parallel and to the south of the busier Interstate 10 (I-10) and US 90 corridor. The biggest population centers are located on either end of the route with the intervening territory being largely rural. Apart from Lake Charles and New Iberia, LA 14 passes through the cities of Abbeville and Kaplan, as well as the towns of Lake Arthur, Gueydan, and Delcambre.
LA 14 marks the southern terminus of two U.S. Highways, US 167 in Abbeville and US 171 in Lake Charles. The highway also has interchanges with I-210 and US 90 in Lake Charles and New Iberia, respectively.
