De Arend (English: The Eagle) is a windmill located on the Akkerstraat 11 in Wouw, Roosendaal, in the province of North Brabant, Netherlands.

Built in 1811 on an artificial hill, the windmill functioned as a gristmill.

[1] The mill is a national monument (nr 39624) since 24 June 1971.

[2] The mill was built in 1811 by the order of Jacobus Aerden, who took the opportunity to build a mill right after the molendwang, a system in which local peasants were obligated to use a certain local mill, was discontinued by the French revolutionaries.
