The Westermolen is a polder mill on the Oosterweg in Nieuwe Niedorp, in the North Holland municipality of Hollands Kroon. This mill was built in 1854 to drain the Oosterpolder, together with two other mills, which were called the Oude Molen and the Nieuwe Molen. It replaced an earlier mill that burned down after being struck by lightning in the night of 18 to 19 February 1854. Unlike its predecessor, which was equipped with a scoop wheel, the new Westermolen pumps the water using an auger.
