Triumph (French: Ville de Triomphe) is an unincorporated community in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana, United States. It is located on the south bank of the Mississippi River.

It is the closest town to two National Historic Landmarks: Fort Jackson (Louisiana) (down river from the town; though due to a bend in the river to the north east) and (across the river) Fort St. Philip.
The 1960 U.S census listed Triumph as having a population of 900. The U.S. census no longer counts Triumph as separate community, including it as part of the census-designated place of Buras-Triumph.
Like most of Plaquemines Parish, Triumph was severely damaged by massive storm surge from Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
