Redbournbury Mill, a water-driven flour mill, lies on the River Ver between St Albans and Redbourn in the county of Hertfordshire, England.

One of its claims to fame is that it was run for much of the 20th century by Ivy Hawkins, claimed to be England's last lady commercial miller.

Today, after a ten-year restoration project, the mill is working again and producing organic flour that is sold at the mill and in local shops and markets (including Harpenden farmers market), and is used by local restaurants.

Adjacent to the mill are two deep fords which can be crossed by car with care, allowing a road connection between the A5 and A6 near Harpenden. The fords are occasionally used as part of the route on local road rallies because of their tricky nature; following the wrong line can drop you into much deeper water without warning.

The bakery at Redbournbury Mill reopened to the public in July 2006, and 2007 has seen the introduction of periodic bakery courses at the mill bakery.
