De Valk is a tower mill and museum in Leiden, Netherlands.
The current tower mill is the third mill built at this location In 1611 the post mill "De Valck" was built. In 1667 it was replaced by a wooden post mill. In 1743 a higher tower mill was built. De Valk originally was equipped with six mill stones. There were two dwellings in the mill, originally for the two owners, later for the miller and his assistant.
From June 2, 1966 onwards the mill is in use as municipal museum. Since 2000 De Valk is again operationally functional and can e used for milling.
