De Hoosmolen is a polder mill or dewatering mill on the edge of the Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen nature reserve in Drongen, a borough of the Belgian city of Ghent.
The mill can be found in notarial deeds as early as 1316, making it the oldest known of its kind. Most likely there was already a mill in the 12th century that ensured the drainage of Bourgoyen-Ossemeersen, whereby the excess water was discharged via the Grijtgracht (formerly called Rietgracht) into the higher Lys.
