Louis Métezeau (1560–1615) was a French architect.

He was born in Dreux, Eure-et-Loir. He is the son of Thibault Métezeau, the brother of Clément II Métezeau^[1] and the nephew of Jean Métezeau. He was Premier Architecte du Roi of Henry IV of France.^[2] He probably undertook the construction of the Grande Galerie du Louvre^[3] and conceived the Place des Vosges in Paris.^[1] His one documented structure is the Hôtel d'Angoulême (1584).^[4]

Métezeau was probably involved in the building of the Palais du Luxembourg for Marie de Medicis: she is believed to have sent him to Florence in 1611 to make drawings of the Palazzo Pitti, which was to be used as a model by the regent's order.^[5]
