Louis Menna (February 4, 1897 - December 14, 1974) was a Republican politician from Philadelphia who served in the Pennsylvania state legislature, the Philadelphia City Council, and as a Philadelphia City Commissioner.

Menna was born in South Philadelphia in 1897, the son of Joseph and Angelina (D'Annunzio) Menna. After finding work as a tile-setter, Menna became involved in the Republican Party politics of Philadelphia's 26th ward, rising to become ward leader in 1942. As his prominence in the party grew, he became known as South Philadelphia's "Mr. Republican."
