De Scheldemolen is a ground sailor in Doel (Beveren) in Belgium. The mill is a round stone ground sailor from 1614, making it one of the oldest surviving round stone mills in the province. He does not stand up, but in the dike that protects the land against the water of the Scheldt. This dike was built in 1614.

The Scheldemolen was in operation until 1927. After that it had various functions and now (2010) it houses a restaurant. Due to the accompanying extension, the mill can no longer turn and has only been restored externally. It has been a monument since 1946, which does not alter the fact that its existence is threatened. With the expansion of the port of Antwerp, the town of Doel has to give way. There is talk of preserving three monuments in the place, of which the Scheldemolen is one.
