A '''pattern book''' is a book of architectural designs, usually providing enough for non-architects to build structures that are copies or significant derivatives of major architect-designed works.

A number of pattern books have been very influential in spreading architectural styles.
An early author of pattern books was American architect [[Minard Lafever]]. In 1829 he published ''The Young Builders' General Instructor'', followed by ''Modern Builders' Guide'' in 1833, ''The Beauties of Modern Architecture'' in 1835 and ''The Architectural Instructor'' in 1850. His pattern books were influential in spreading his [[Greek Revival architecture|Greek Revival]] style, which is known as the first major non-British high architectural style in the United States. The style was popular for being not British, and for association with Greek history, ancient and modern, and was greatly facilitated by the pattern books.
