The Superintendent's Residence at Great Sand Dunes is a 1940s local adaptation of the National Park Service Rustic style.

The Superintendent's Residence is a building located adjacent to the entrance gate house of the park. Designed in 1940, the residence was built at the site now known as Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve.

The National Park Service Branch of Plans and Designs oversaw the design, with Kenneth R. Saunders and Jerome C. Miller drafting the structure. The building is constructed in the Territorial Revival style, which is a local adaptation of the National Park Service Rustic style.

The Works Progress Administration built the house in 1940. Located at Highway 150 11500, Mosca, the residence remains a part of the national monument's historical landscape.
