Louisiana Highway 131 (LA 131) is a state highway located in Concordia Parish, Louisiana. It runs 6.80 miles (10.94 km) in a southwest to northeast direction from LA 15 in St. Genevieve to U.S. Highway 84 (US 84) and U.S. Highway 425 (US 425) in Vidalia.

The route parallels the west bank of the Mississippi River, which forms the border between Louisiana and Mississippi. It connects Vidalia, the parish seat, with LA 15 southwest of town. Vidalia lies directly opposite the river from Natchez, Mississippi, the two being connected via the Natchez–Vidalia Bridge on US 84/US 425.

Originally a longer route that followed an overall north–south direction, LA 131 was truncated in favor of an extension of LA 15. Though it now runs in a more diagonal fashion and carries no directional banners, the route still performs a north–south travel function and is treated in the state highway system as such.
