Van Wyck-Lefferts Tide Mill (/væn ˈwk/ van WYKE) is a historic tide mill located at Lloyd Harbor in Suffolk County, New York. It was built about 1793 and is a 3+12-story, gable-roofed, timber-framed rectangular building little altered since the early 19th century. The property also includes the earthen mill dam with sluice gates.[2] The Nature Conservancy, which owns the mill, offers free boat tours to the site from May through October.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.[1]
