Warden is an unincorporated community in Richland Parish, Louisiana, United States. The community is located 5 miles (8.05 kilometres) N of Delhi, Louisiana.

Name origin

The community was once named Richland but in 1929 Mary Southall, the local postmaster at that time, changed the name to Warden using the surname of a local resident. The name of the community was changed because mail was mistakenly being sent to another town called Richland.
