The Independent Party of Louisiana was a third party in the U.S. state of Louisiana which became ballot-qualified in December 2016. It was dissolved on August 1, 2025. It was the third largest political party in Louisiana, behind the Democratic and Republican parties, with more than 150,000 registrants as of 2025. In 2014, the legislature repealed a law preventing political parties with the word "Independent" in the name from becoming ballot-qualified. It was not affiliated with any other third or independent party in the United States.

After bringing back party primaries in federal and some state elections, the legislature once again barred the names "Independent Party" or "Independent" for political parties. The party agreed that it should be dissolved, so that its members can vote in the Democratic and Republican primaries.
