De Held Jozua (English: The Hero Joshua) is a paltrok mill in Zaandam, Netherlands which has been restored to working order.
The "windbrief" (letter of wind rights), dated 25 July 1719 was granted to Hendrik Claasz.
An insurance contract mentions a vicar called Gerardus van Aelst as owner in 1728, who may be the source of the biblical name of the mill.
