The Southeast Louisiana Flood Protection Authority East is a government agency focused on maintaining the physical and operational integrity of the region's flood risk management system to defend against floods and hurricane-driven storm surge in southeastern Louisiana. It coordinates with local, regional, state, and federal partners to plan, design, construct, operate, and maintain projects that reduce the probability and potential impact of flooding for residents and businesses within its jurisdiction. Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, the authority operates within the government administration sector and serves as a regional hub for flood defense activities across multiple jurisdictions.

Its primary clients are residents and businesses in its jurisdiction, supported by a broader network of public partners involved in flood protection and resilience projects. In late 2025, Louis Jeff Williams was appointed as regional director, reflecting ongoing leadership changes within the agency. The authority has a history of collaboration on major works, including a 2022 partnership aimed at developing the New Orleans Outfall Canals and the Hurricane Storm Damage Reduction System.
