Ramløse Windmill (Danish: Ramløse Mølle) is a smock mill located in the northeastern corner of Ramløse, Gribskov Municipality, North Zealand, some 60 kilometres (37 mi) north west of Copenhagen, Denmark. Built in 1908, it remained in service until 1937. The mill has been restored to working order and is operated by a group of local volunteers six times a year. One of the other buildings at the site, a former workshop, has been turned into a small museum which exhibits historic tools used by different trades. There is also a B&B and a café.
