The Bronson Windmill is an historic windmill at 3015 Bronson Road in Fairfield, Connecticut. It is an octagonal wood frame structure 80 feet (24 m) high, with a large wooden water tank in its interior and a cistern below ground. It was built in 1893-94 for Frederic Bronson to provide water for use on his large dairy farm, and is the only windmill in Fairfield (out of many that once dotted its landscape).
The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
