Carrollton is a neighborhood of uptown New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, which includes the Carrollton Historic District. It is the part of Uptown New Orleans farthest up river from the French Quarter. It was formerly a separate town incorporated in 1833, and was annexed by New Orleans in 1874 (becoming the 16th Ward of New Orleans and 17th Ward of New Orleans of the city) but has long retained some elements of distinct identity.

Historically the boundaries of the city of Carrollton were the Mississippi River, the downriver border of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, Fig Street, and Lowerline Street. As Lowerline is a small street, some people think of the neighborhood of Carrollton as extending two blocks further to the larger thoroughfare of Broadway. The area on the river side of Claiborne Avenue is sometimes referred to as'Old Carrollton'. The incorporation of Carrollton creates an apparent anomaly in New Orleans street names; Lowerline is upriver from Upperline Street, which was originally the upriver boundary of another suburb annexed in the 1850s.

The main street is broad Carrollton Avenue, lined with live oaks, with the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar running on the'neutral ground'or central median. The streetcar barn is a block off the avenue in Carrollton, on Willow St., and the landmark Camellia Grill diner is near the corner of St. Charles and Carrollton Avenues. The old Neoclassicism Carrollton City hall (administration) building is on Carrollton Avenue near the Mississippi; as of 2006 it houses Audubon Charter Middle School.

The neighborhood and Avenue are pronounced'kaa-rull-ton'or'kaa-ril-tin'by residents and other uptowners, but many people from the downtown parts of New Orleans (especially those born in the mid 20th century and earlier) pronounce the names as'Karl- ton'.

Tulane University and Loyola University New Orleans are just a few blocks below Carrollton, and many students, faculty, and staff live in the area and patronize the businesses there.
