Louisiana Highway 64 (LA 64) is a state highway located in southeastern Louisiana. It runs 20.45 miles (32.91 km) in a general east–west direction from LA 964 in Zachary to the junction of LA 16 and LA 1026 north of Denham Springs.

The highway traverses the northern portion of East Baton Rouge Parish and connects Zachary and Central, two suburban cities located outside of Baton Rouge. LA 64 also provides the only highway crossing of the Amite River between Grangeville, 16 miles (26 km) to the north, and Denham Springs, five miles (8.0 km) to the south. LA 64 reaches the bridge by way of a five-mile (8.0 km) concurrency with LA 37 through Greenwell Springs, a rural community now within the city limits of Central. LA 64 continues into Livingston Parish to connect with LA 16 between Denham Springs and Watson.

LA 64 was created in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering from portions of several former state routes. Much of the route is proposed to be turned over to local control as part of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (La DOTD) road transfer program. In 2015, a section of LA 64 near its western terminus was relinquished, causing a gap in state maintenance that led to the creation of LA 64-1. As of 2018, the section of LA 64 west of LA 67 and LA 64-1 are under agreement to be removed from the state highway system and transferred to local control.^[2]
