Victoria Mill is a Grade II* listed 19th-century cotton spinning mill in Miles Platting, Manchester, England. It was a double mill designed by George Woodhouse and completed in 1869.[2]

Built alongside the Rochdale Canal and Varley Street, Victoria Mills were constructed for William Holland & Sons, of the Adelphi Mill, Salford. It was designed by George Woodhouse of Bolton as a six storey double mill with shared engine house. It had an octagonal chimney. The mill was acquired by the Fine Cotton Spinners and Doublers Association in 1898 and worked to 1960, and has now been converted into office space and residential use.
