Alice B. Cowles House (formerly Faculty Row House Number 7) is a structure on the campus of Michigan State University. It is the oldest extant building on MSU's campus, though only the foundation and two exterior walls remain from the original 1857 construction.

Originally built to house faculty before the founding of what is now East Lansing, Cowles House has served several purposes over the years. In addition to housing faculty and administration, Cowles House has occasionally doubled as a women's dormitory. It was used as a president's residence from 1941 to 2005, when MSU's current (as of 2006) president, Lou Anna Simon, announced that she planned to stay in her East Lansing home. President Simon still uses the house for formal entertaining.
