Villa Bosch, Cultural heritage monument in Heidelberg, Germany.

Villa Bosch is a country house with outbuildings and a park on Schloss-Wolfsbrunnenweg in Heidelberg, Germany. Built in 1922, the ensemble sits on a hillside plot on the edge of the Königstuhl forest, with the main house flanked by several smaller structures.

BASF commissioned the villa in 1921–1922 for its chairman Carl Bosch; the architect is unknown. After World War II it housed high-ranking US officers, and General Dwight D. Eisenhower briefly resided there as military governor of the American occupation zone. Süddeutscher Rundfunk bought it in 1967 for its Heidelberg-Mannheim studio; Klaus Tschira acquired it in 1994 and restored it by mid-1997 as the seat of the Klaus Tschira Stiftung.

The villa is named after Carl Bosch, BASF's chairman and Nobel laureate in Chemistry in 1931. His former garage house, 300 metres west at Schloß-Wolfsbrunnenweg 46, now holds the Carl Bosch Museum Heidelberg, which covers his life and work. The main house itself has been the seat of the Klaus Tschira Foundation since 1997.

The estate is not open to the public since it now serves as offices for a foundation. The facade and park can be seen from the street, and the nearby museum in the former garage building is the best way to learn more about the site.

The former garage building on the estate was converted into a museum and stands about 300 meters west of the main house. It is unusual for a private estate's outbuilding to become a public cultural space in this way.
