De Huinsermolen is a smock mill in Húns, Friesland, Netherlands which was built in 1829. The mill has been restored to working order. It is listed as a Rijksmonument, number 8530.
Drainage of the 1,200 pondemaat Huinserpolder started in 1828, initially by five windmills. These were replaced by De Huinsermolen, which was built by millwright Lieuwe Johannes van der Meulen of Leeuwarden in 1829. In 1937, plans were made to replace De Huinsermolen with a mechanical pump, but these plans were not carried through, mainly due to opposition from then miller Cees Hoitsma. A three-cylinder Lister diesel engine was placed in the mill in 1958, working in conjunction with the windmill.
