The Louisiana Handicap is an American Thoroughbred horse race held annually during the third week of January at Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans, Louisiana. Open to horses age four and older, it is contested on dirt over a distance of a mile and a sixteenth (8.5 furlongs).

Inaugurated on December 12, 1942, the first running of the Louisiana Handicap was won by Calumet Farm's 1941 U.S. Triple Crown winner Whirlaway. It would be the last race of Whirlaway's brilliant career and he was voted his second straight American Horse of the Year title.[1]

Since inception, the Louisiana Handicap has been run at two different distances:

There was no race run in 1944 and 1948.
