Fazendeville was a small, historic, African American community in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana, United States. Located near the Freedmen's Cemetery in the parish, this village was razed during the 1960s as part of an expansion of the Chalmette National Battlefield in the Jean Lafitte National Historic Park and Preserve.
It was known to residents who lived there as "The Village."
A significant percentage of the village's displaced residents resettled in New Orleans' Ninth Ward.
