Morganza is an incorporated village near the Mississippi River in Pointe Coupee Parish, Louisiana, United States.

The Morganza Spillway, a flood control structure between the Mississippi River and the Atchafalaya Basin, is located nearby.

Although the Battle of Sterling Plantation was a Confederate victory, the Union troops burned the town of Morganza to the ground on October 1, 1863.

[6] Historian John D. Winters in The Civil War in Louisiana (1963) documents the arrival in May 1864 of Federal troops in Morganza under General Nathaniel P. Banks, recently defeated in the Battle of Mansfield in DeSoto Parish and abandoning the Red River Campaign.

The Morganza Spillway, a major flood diversion project of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is located immediately north of the town.

High water of the Mississippi is channeled between guide levees north and west of the town of Morganza and down into the Atchafalaya Basin, thence to the Gulf of Mexico.

The coldest month is usually quite mild, although frosts are not uncommon, and winter precipitation is derived primarily from frontal cyclones along the polar front.

Its main area of responsibility is law enforcement and community service within the corporate limits of the Village of Morganza, although its officers are occasionally tasked to assist other area police agencies such as the Pointe Coupee Parish Sheriff's Office, the Louisiana State Police, and Louisiana Wildlife & Fisheries.

The town features in the 1969 film Easy Rider, where the main characters are subjected to ridicule from townsfolk in a local restaurant.
