De Hoop is a former corn and hulling mill on the Vlissings Bolwerk in Middelburg in the Dutch province of Zeeland.
The mill was built in 1735 as a peeling mill. After a fire in 1753, De Hoop was restored as a corn and hulling mill in 1755. The mill was probably restored a little lower, which determines the somewhat 'thick' appearance of the mill. The windmill remained in operation until 1920, when the interior was demolished. The mill was then converted into a flour mill with an electric motor taking over the work. As a result of acts of war in 1940, De Hoop was severely damaged. In 1948 it became the property of the municipality of Middelburg. In 1954 the mill was restored as a stationary monument. It was not until 1988 that an extensive restoration followed in which the mill became operational again, the interior did not return.
