The Oude Doornse molen is a polder mill built around 1700 in the town of Almkerk in the Dutch municipality of Altena. Owner is Molenstichting Land van Heusden en Altena. The mill is of the ground sailer type and is an octagonal mill.
The mill was used as a polder mill for draining the Oude Doorn polder, but was decommissioned in March 1965. Until then, the mill has proved important for the polder. In 1940 and 1944 the polder was completely ground by wind power by the mill, after it was flooded for the benefit of the Dutch Water Line. Also in 1953, after the flood disaster, the mill was able to dry the polder entirely on wind power. Nowadays, the Oude Doornse mill is milling in circuit.
