Calvert Vaux (; December 20, 1824 – November 19, 1895) was a British-American architect and landscape designer.
Vaux is best known as the co-designer, along with his protégé and junior partner Frederick Law Olmsted, of what would become New York City's Central Park. Vaux, on his own and in various partnerships, designed and created dozens of parks across the United States.
He introduced new ideas about the significance of public parks in America during a hectic time of urbanization.
This industrialization of the cityscape inspired Vaux to focus on an integration of buildings, bridges, and other forms of architecture into their natural surroundings.
He favored naturalistic, rustic, and curvilinear lines in his designs.
