Dupont is an unincorporated community in southeastern Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, United States.

The area falls under the service of the nearby Jarreau Post Office.

In 1902, a group of men gathered on the island side of False River to come up with a new name for the post office what was designated to be opened in their area.

A box of Dupont shotgun shells was in full view and the committee decided on that name.

After World War II, the post office was closed.
