Let’s say there’s someone I want to call Mr/Ms/Mrs [Name], but I don’t know their gender, is there a title I can use that doesn’t assume their gender?

Not a contemporary one, but during the French Revolution, they used ‘Citizen’ for everyone.

Which, in French, is “citoyen” (masculine) or “citoyenne” (feminine). Not a neutral gendered word.

Well, it depends. Some nouns are epicene, like “enfant” or “adulte” (“un/une enfant/adulte”). Many adjectives are: “rapide”, solide", “mobile”…
But it is gender neutral in English, the language OP was asking about.
