The mill De Drie Lelies is a flour mill in the Dutch town of Maasland (municipality of Midden-Delfland). The mill is located on the Molenweg just outside the village, behind the Dijkmolen. The mill was built in 1767 to replace an earlier post mill on the same site. Until the 1960s, the mill was in operation for grinding animal feed. The mill was restored in 1974/1975, after which De Drie Lelies was in operation until 1985. This was followed by a long period of standstill. On October 27, 2002, during a violent storm, the mill ran out of brakes and began to rotate, posing the risk of major damage or fire. The miller of the Dijkmolen could have prevented worse. In 2006 a thorough restoration was started, which was completed in June 2007. The mill now runs regularly, not on set days.

In the mill it can be seen that four milling couples used to be present. Today only the milling chair remains.

Above the door is a plaque that reads:

The First Stone
Geleyt On The 4Mey
By Teuntje Vander Lely
A.V.D. Lely
Anno 1767

Teuntje van der Lely was the daughter of the first miller. Unfortunately, she was beaten to death by the blades of the same mill a short time later. The window above the entrance is only an illusion: the bricks in the arch have been painted to make the whole look like a window.
