The Louisiana–Lafayette Ragin' Cajuns (or Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns) are the intercollegiate athletic teams of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. The University of Louisiana at Lafayette, at that time known as the University of Southwestern Louisiana, was the first to adopt the nickname "Ragin' Cajuns," using it initially in the 1960s to refer to its football team.
