Lambridge Mill Also known as Lambrigg Mill is a wind pump located in the parish of Sea Palling within the Norfolk Broads National Park, United Kingdom and can be found at grid reference grid reference TG431252, it is approximately 2 miles southwest of Waxham.

The current wind pump at this location was built in 1880 to drain the nearby Long Gore Marsh (located to the south of the mill) and is thought to have worked for a very short period of time, possibly up until 1905-1910. The name of the mill is also disputed, as the current Ordnance Survey Explorer map states the name of the mill as Lambrigg Mill. The name Lambridge however corresponds with the name of the nearby Lambridge Mill Farm.

The mill still stands today in a derelict state with only two of the original four stocks remaining and the cap is no longer in situ. It is difficult to directly reach the mill due to it being located within the private garden of Lambridge Mill Cottage; unfortunately no public rights of way run nearby, however it is possible to get relatively close to the structure via the Waxham New Cut, the mill is well beyond the limit of navigation, therefore only small non-motorised craft may venture this far up the river.
