Longineu Warren "LP" Parsons III is a French-born American rock musician. He is best known as the former drummer of the American rock band Yellowcard.

Parsons joined Yellowcard in 1997 along with Ben Dobson, Todd Clary, Warren Cooke and Ben Harper after meeting at Douglas Anderson School of the Arts. He was with the band ever since 1997's Midget Tossing until 2013's Ocean Avenue Acoustic.^[1]

On March 13, 2014, Parsons left Yellowcard. By this point, Parsons had been the only remaining member of the original lineup.

The band played several shows across the U.S. to promote the album.^[4]

As of 2017, the band is on hiatus due to band members' other interests. Parsons began playing drums with Ten Foot Pole and Stages and Stereos.^{[citation needed]}
