Calcot Mill is an historic former watermill on the Holy Brook, a channel of the River Kennet in the English county of Berkshire. The mill is situated in the civil parish of Holybrook and to the south of Calcot, a suburb of Reading.

The original mill belonged to Reading Abbey, whose monks are believed to have created the Holy Brook as a water supply to this and other mills owned by them.[1]

Between 1876 and 1928 the GWR operated a siding serving the mill which was shunted by a horse.[2]

In 1881 the American post-impressionist painter John Singer Sargent spent the summer with his family in the village.[3]

In 1966, the mill, then owned by Calcot Flour Mills, was badly damaged by fire.[4] Since then the building has been converted to apartments.
