Stansfield Mill is a Grade II listed[1] tower mill at Stansfield, Suffolk, England which is derelict.

Stansfield Mill was built in 1840, replacing an earlier post mill.[2] The millwright who built the mill is probably William Bear of Sudbury.[1] It is not recorded when the mill ceased work, but the cap was removed in 1922 and the mill subsequently became derelict.[3]
