Rossleigh Court is a rental apartment building located on the northwest corner of 85th Street and Central Park West on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City.

Like the similarly designed and adjoining building to its north, 257 Central Park West, Rossleigh Court was designed by Mulliken and Moeller and built by Gotham Building and Construction between 1906 and 1907. Opening one year after its "twin" to the north, both buildings followed the popular "French Flat" model in a Beaux-Arts style.

Moeller (1874-1954) are credited with the design of the 257 Central Park West (the similarly designed building adjoining to the north, the Van Dyke, the Severn, the Lucerne (at least Mulliken and possibly Moeller as well), 530 West End Avenue (south west corner of West 86th Street), 310 West 86th Street, 320 West 86th Street and 302 West 86th Street. Much of their work was sponsored by James and David Todd.
