"Design for a house for a cosmopolite" (French: "Projet de maison pour un cosmopolite") is a neoclassical architectural drawing created in 1783 by the French architect Antoine Laurent Thomas Vaudoyer. The design reflects the Enlightenment ideals of the time, emphasizing rationality, universality, and a cosmopolitan spirit that transcended national and cultural boundaries. Vaudoyer, who was a student of the influential architect Jacques-Germain Soufflot, conceived this project as a theoretical exploration of architecture that could cater to the needs and tastes of a well-traveled, worldly individual—a "cosmopolite."

The design is notable for its symmetrical layout and the use of classical architectural elements, such as columns and pediments, which were typical of the neoclassical style that sought to revive the principles of ancient Greek and Roman architecture. Vaudoyer's work is characterized by its intellectual approach to design and its emphasis on the role of architecture in reflecting humanist and philosophical concepts.

Although the house was never built, the design is significant in architectural history as an example of the theoretical projects that were common among architects of the period, who often engaged in designing ideal structures that served as vehicles for discussing architectural principles and aesthetic values. The drawing of the "Design for a house for a cosmopolite" is preserved in architectural archives and continues to be studied for its representation of Enlightenment thinking in architecture and its contribution to the evolution of neoclassical design.
