Le Typhonium is an Egyptian Revival villa designed by architect Edmond De Vigne and located in Wissant, a coastal town in northern France. The residence exemplifies the nineteenth-century fascination with Egyptology and ancient Egyptian aesthetics, translating historical motifs and design principles into a residential setting. Designated as a monument historique inscrit (inscribed historic monument), the villa stands as a notable example of period revival architecture in the Pas-de-Calais region.
