The 1948 Louisiana lieutenant gubernatorial election was held on 20 April 1948 in order to elect the lieutenant governor of Louisiana. Democratic nominee and incumbent member of the Louisiana State Senate C. E. Barham defeated Republican nominee Violet B. Allen.
Democratic primary
The Democratic primary election was held on 15 January 1952, but as no candidate received a majority of the votes cast, a runoff was held on 19 February 1952 between candidate John McKeithen and state senator C. E. Barham. State senator C. E. Barham won the runoff with 58.94% of the vote, and was thus elected as the nominee for the general election.
