Ritchie Mill, Provincial historic mill in Old Strathcona, Edmonton, Canada.

Ritchie Mill is a five-story red brick building at the 'End of Steel' in Edmonton's Strathcona neighbourhood, where the Calgary and Edmonton Railway terminated at the North Saskatchewan River Valley. It was built for steam-powered steel roller milling, with grain elevators added in 1895 and 1902. The structure retains its heavy industrial framework and oversized windows.

The mill was built in 1892 using steam-powered steel rollers instead of traditional stone wheels, representing a major leap forward in grain processing technology. This made it one of the region's most modern facilities at that time.

Robert Ritchie arrived in Strathcona in 1892 and within a year had built and was operating the mill; he later served as alderman, school trustee, justice of the peace and mayor of Strathcona in 1906. The mill ground prairie wheat until 1948, and since 2012 the building has housed offices and retail tenants.

The building now houses various businesses and office spaces, making it an active commercial address rather than a single attraction. Parking is available nearby, and access to different parts may vary depending on individual tenants.

The building retains many of its original machines and systems from the 1890s, including grain chutes and driving mechanisms that powered the milling process. These pieces of industrial equipment remain visible in parts of the structure, offering a tangible connection to how work was performed over a century ago.
