Louisiana Highway 111 (LA 111) is a state highway located in western Louisiana. It runs 45.72 miles (73.58 km) in a general north–south direction from U.S. Highway 190 (US 190) in Junction to LA 117 northeast of Leesville.
The route parallels the Texas state line, located along the Sabine River, from a point north of Merryville to the south end of the Toledo Bend Reservoir. Its direction then changes from north–south to east–west as it bends around the northwest side of the Leesville area, though this is not reflected on its directional banners. During this stretch, the highway crosses Vernon Lake and passes through the village of Anacoco, where it intersects US 171. A lightly traveled rural route, LA 111 also provides access to the Toledo Bend Dam and South Toledo Bend State Park.
LA 111 was designated in the 1955 Louisiana Highway renumbering, replacing a small portion of former State Route 143, which consisted of several disconnected roadways that paralleled the Sabine River between Starks and Logansport. LA 111 also replaced most of State Route 138 and all of State Route 414, which existed on either side of Anacoco.
