Midland (French: Moyen-Terre) is a farming unincorporated community and census-designated place in Acadia Parish, Louisiana, United States.

It is also located at the intersection of the former Louisiana Western Railroad (later a Southern Pacific Transportation Company subsidiary and now a joint BNSF Railway/Union Pacific Railroad line) and its branches to Eunice and Gueydan.

say it was given its name because it was the halfway point on the old railroad running westward from New Orleans to Houston.

Southern Pacific began plans to put a railroad roundhouse at Midland due to Charles H. Cowen, one of the area's most successful rice farmers, developing the town.

After Cowen lost a leg in a rice threshing accident and died soon after, Southern Pacific withdrew plans to place a roundhouse in Midland.
