Eagle Mills Township is a rural, non-functioning subdivision of Iredell County, North Carolina, United States.

By the requirements of the North Carolina Constitution of 1868, the counties were divided into townships, which included Eagle Mills.

In 1846, Andrew Baggerly bought land on Hunting Creek in north Iredell County.

He put an ad in Salisbury's Carolina Watchman newspaper that read, "the most valuable water power in the Southern Country … situated on Hunting Creek in Iredell County, twenty-eight miles west of Salisbury … [on] a never-failing stream, … remarkable for its purity, … [and] adapted to the manufacture of paper, to calico printing, to bleaching etc."

Baggerly was forced to sell his interests in Eagle Mills to William Colvert during the Panic of 1857.
