Cheddleton Flint Mill is a water mill situated in the village of Cheddleton in the English county of Staffordshire. The mill race takes water from the river Churnet. The site is believed to have been used for milling since the Middle Ages. However, the present structures mainly date from the period of the Industrial Revolution, although there is evidence of some earlier work surviving.

There are actually two mills: one is a late 18th century structure which was purpose-built to grind flint for use in the pottery industry,{{cite web | url=http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-274557-north-mill-to-cheddleton-flint-mill-ched | title=North Mill to Cheddleton Flint Mill | work=British Listed Buildings | accessdate=3 December 2014}} and the other was converted to the same purpose from use as a corn-mill. The mill complex includes a miller's cottage, two flint kilns, a drying kiln and outbuildings, and is adjacent to the Caldon Canal.
