The Boscobel Cottage, in Bosco in Ouachita Parish, Louisiana, and also known as Lower Boscobel Plantation, is a historic house built in about 1820. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

It is located on the east bank of the Ouachita River, about 20 miles (32 km) below Monroe, Louisiana, on Cordell Lane, off what is now U.S. Route 165 prior to the main house being built for the plantation.

It was built by Judge Henry Bry. It includes Greek Revival and Federal architecture with a central hallway. The listing included two contributing buildings.
