Larpool Mill is a historic building on Glen Esk Road in Whitby, a town in North Yorkshire, England.

The watermill was constructed in the 18th century to grind corn. It is located on the Cock Mill Beck in Larpool Wood.[1] It was later converted into holiday accommodation; despite its apparently small size, it has five bedrooms.[2] The building was Grade II listed in 1972. Historic England states that it was listed for its "visual importance in [a] picturesque setting".[3]

The cottage is built of stone with a pantile roof, and has two storeys. Projecting from the front is a single-storey pentice with a modern door and window. The main part has a small double-hung sash window, and a modern window below. At the rear are three small windows.[3]
