Upper Mill, also known as Walton Mill, is a Grade II listed windmill in Walton, Suffolk. Built in 1804 as a corn mill, it is a two-storey smock mill on a two-storey brick base. It had four patent sails and a boat-shaped cap that was turned by a fantail, driving two pairs of millstones. In the early 20th century it was dismantled, leaving only the smock tower. It was on the Buildings at Risk Register in 1995, but repairs to the weatherboarding have been made and the mill is now conserved.
