The Doesburgermolen is a post mill in the hamlet of Doesburgerbuurt in the community of Ede, Netherlands

It is considered to be the oldest post mill in the Netherlands; in its present form it was probably built around 1630. It underwent a major restoration around 1970.

The mill is operated by volunteers and is still used for grinding grain.
