Louisiana Highway 1077 (LA 1077) is a state highway located in southeastern Louisiana. It runs 20.61 miles (33.17 km) in a general north–south direction from a dead end at Lake Pontchartrain in Madisonville to a junction with LA 25 south of Folsom.

The route traverses the length of Madisonville, a small town in St. Tammany Parish, where it travels along the Tchefuncte River and is partially concurrent with LA 21. Both routes connect Madisonville to Interstate 12 (I-12), the region's major east–west highway. North of town, LA 1077 crosses US 190 at Goodbee, a point west of Covington. Near the end of its route, LA 1077 abandons its north–south trajectory at the Tangipahoa Parish line and turns east to connect with LA 25. Despite this, the signage for LA 1077 retains north–south directional banners throughout.

LA 1077 was designated in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering, primarily replacing the former State Route 188. In the future, the entire route is proposed for deletion as part of the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development's ongoing Road Transfer Program.
