Il mulino a vento è una struttura costruita per sfruttare l'energia del vento (energia eolica) e attraverso l'utilizzo di pale trasformarla in energia meccanica utilizzandola per macinare cereali o altri materiali in ambito agricolo, artigianale o industriale. Differisce dalla pompa eolica, che spesso presenta una struttura esterna e principio meccanico simile a quella di un mulino a vento ma ha come funzione quella di movimentare l'acqua.
