Winlaton Mill ironworks is an eighteenth-century iron foundry established in the lower Derwent valley in County Durham. The site represents an important phase in the development of iron production in north-east England, reflecting the region's emergence as a significant industrial centre during the Georgian period. The surviving remains include substantial stone structures and evidence of the mill races and water management systems that powered the works, demonstrating the dependence of early industrial ironworks upon water power. The foundry operated as part of the broader network of metalworking enterprises that characterised the Derwent valley's industrial heritage.
