The Markeymolen is a windmill located in Pollinkhove, Lo-Reninge, West Flanders, Belgium. Built in 1797, it is a three-story wooden standard mill used to grind grain and oil. The wingspan of the mill is about 24 meters. The mill was kept in operation by Joseph Markey until 1962. It was fully restored in 1991-1992 and is now open as a Sunday afternoon museum.

The mill was built in 1797. The base of the mill was closed off in 1927, creating a sixteen-sided brick building with entrance doors. The last miller was Joseph Markey, to whom the mill owes its current name. He ceased milling in 1962. The mill gradually fell into disrepair. As early as 1949, the mill was designated a protected monument. In 1980, it was purchased by the province of West Flanders, which carried out restoration work so that the mill was operational again in 2003.

The mill has three lofts, three pairs of millstones, and a building structure.
