The 1944 Louisiana lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on 18 April 1944 in order to elect the lieutenant governor of Louisiana. Democratic nominee J. Emile Verret won the election as he ran unopposed.

Democratic primary

The Democratic primary election was held on 18 January 1944, but as no candidate received a majority of the votes cast, a runoff was held on 29 February 1944 between former governor Earl K. Long and candidate J. Emile Verret. Candidate J. Emile Verret won the runoff with 51.16% of the vote, and was thus elected as the nominee for the general election.
