Buckton Mill, also known as Bempton Mill, is a historic windmill on Bolam Lane in Bempton, a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

A corn mill on the site was first recorded in the 13th century. The current building was constructed in the early 19th century. The building was Grade II listed in 1985.[1][2][3] The building became derelict, but was restored in the 2010s and converted into a private house.[4]

The mill is built of brick, with stone dressings and a stepped brick parapet. It consists of a conical tower of four storeys, and contains windows, some with segmental arches, and two doorways.[3][5]
