Black Mill, (or Owthorne Mill), Waxholme, is a local landmark in the hamlet of Waxholme close to the town of Withernsea, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. A tower windmill, only the bottom half of the tower remains after the top was removed in the World Wars and used as a lookout over the North Sea. There has been a windmill on the site since at least 1648. The last record of it being a working mill is around 1900.
