Louis A. Perrotta (September 27, 1900 – March 29, 1985) was an Italian-American surgeon in New York. His research in spinal anesthesia in 1943 demonstrated that pain control during childbirth could be achieved.

The study utilized two controversial and polarizing techniques in obstetrics: Spinal anesthesia and manual cervical dilation. Perrotta was an owner and founder of Pelham Bay General Hospital in New York in 1960 where he was the Director of Surgery. Perrotta held academic positions as Professor of Pediatrics at Bellevue Medical College, Clinical Professor at New York University School of Medicine and Associate Clinica
