Araldo Alfred Cossutta (January 11, 1925, Krk, Yugoslavia – February 24, 2017, New York City) was an architect who worked primarily in the United States. From 1956 to 1973 he was a design associate with and ultimately a partner in the firm I. M. Pei & Associates. In 1973 he and Vincent Ponte left Pei's firm to form Cossutta & Ponte, which ultimately became Cossutta and Associates. Cossutta's designs for Pei's firm include the north and south buildings of the L'Enfant Plaza complex in Washington, D.C. (1964), the Third Church of Christ, Scientist in Washington (1971), and the Christian Science Center in Boston, Massachusetts (1973). His own firm designed the Credit Lyonnais Tower in Lyon, France (1977) and the Tower at Cityplace (1988) in Dallas, Texas, among many other commissions.

Cossutta was educated at the University of Belgrade in Yugoslavia, the Ecole des Beaux Art in Paris, France, and Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. In 1949 Cossutta worked in the atelier of Le Corbusier. He received a master's degree from Harvard in 1952, and worked for Michael Hare and Associates from 1952 - 1955, when he joined I. M. Pei and Associates.

In 1974 Cossutta was elected a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. In 2010 he was elected as a foreign member of the French Académie d'architecture.
