La Casa Latina, Inc. was a non-profit organization in Sioux City, Iowa, which helped its clients obtain human services, healthcare, housing, and other basic needs.

La Casa Latina described itself as a "self-help and self-determined ethnic center" set up to create self-sufficiency and integration for the Latino community. The organization operated under the name La Casa Latina from 1989 until 2007, when it joined the Mary J. Treglia Community House in Sioux City.
