Lois Wilson Langhorst (August 31, 1914 – January 6, 1989) was an American architect and educator, known for her influential contributions to modernist architecture and her pioneering role in a predominantly male field. Her work in the San Francisco Bay Area alongside her then-husband, Fred Langhorst, was under the firm Langhorst and Langhorst, Architects. Her career was cut short due to discriminatory practices against women in the field of architecture during that time period.
