The Hittfeld windmill is a listed Dutch windmill in the municipality of Seevetal in Lower Saxony. It is the landmark of the Seevetal district of Hittfeld and the only windmill in Seevetal that still exists today. The Hittfeld windmill is part of the Lower Saxony mill road.

The Hittfeld windmill is an earth dutchman without a gallery with a wind-turned cap or wing hood. It was built in 1875 and became the property of the Voss family in 1899. The current owner is Heinrich Voss. The windmill Hittfeld was badly damaged by a storm in 1954. The mill was completely repaired in 1957. The Hittfeld mill is no longer used for commercial purposes. However, the technology is completely preserved and functional, so that grinding is theoretically possible.

As early as 1964, the mill historian Wilhelm Kleeberg declared this Erdholländer as "absolutely worthy of preservation" in his Lower Saxony mill history. In order to renovate and maintain the windmill in Hittfeld for future generations, the Hittfelder Windmühle e. V. founded.

The Hittfeld windmill is a popular photo motif. For example, photographs adorn the birthday calendar The historical Hittfeld of the Heimatverein Hittfeld und Umgegend e as the title motif. V. and the calendar windmills in Seevetal for the three months of February, August and December 2019. Historical calendar for 2019.

The Hittfeld windmill acted as a film set in the Edgar Wallace film The Uncanny Monk in 1965 and became more popular.

In the immediate vicinity of the Hittfeld windmill is the "Hittfelder Mühle" discotheque of the same name, which is named after the mill.
