Louise Marie Thérèse of France (Louise Marie Thérèse d'Artois; born September 21, 1819, Élysée-Bourbon, Paris, France; died February 1, 1864, Palazzo Giustiniani, Venice, Austrian Empire) was the eldest daughter of Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry, younger son of King Charles X of France, and Princess Caroline Ferdinande Louise of the Two Sicilies, daughter of Francis I of the Two Sicilies. Her younger brother, Henri, comte de Chambord, was King of France and Navarre from 2 to 9 August 1830 and afterwards the Legitimist Pretender to the throne of France from 1844 to 1883.

At Schloss Frohsdorf on November 10, 1845, she married Ferdinando Carlo, Hereditary Prince of Lucca, known as Charles III, Duke of Parma after 1849. Ferdinando Carlo and Louise had four children:

• Margherita (1847-1893), married Carlos, Duke of Madrid, Carlist claimant to the Spanish throne.
• Robert I (1848-1907), married first Princess Maria Pia of the Two Sicilies (daughter of King Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies), and second Infanta Maria Antonia of Portugal (daughter of the King Miguel I of Portugal and Adelaide of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg).
• Alicia (1849-1935), married Ferdinand IV, Grand Duke of Tuscany.
• Enrico, Count di Bardi (1851-1905), married first Princess Immacolata of the Two Sicilies (daughter of King Ferdinand II of the Two Sicilies), and second Infanta Adelgunde of Portugal, Duchess of Guimaraes (daughter of King Miguel of Portugal).

Louise died on February 1, 1864 at age 44 in Palazzo Giustiniani, Venice. She was buried in her grandfather Charles X's crypt at the Franciscan monastery Castagnavizza in Goritz, Austria (now Nova Gorica, Slovenia). Other members of the French Royal Family buried here include Louise's brother Henri, her aunt Marie-Thérèse-Charlotte of France, and her uncle Louis-Antoine, Duke of Angoulême.
