De Oude Rosmolen was an upscale restaurant located in Hoorn, Netherlands, which operated from 1955 until it ceased business. It was awarded a single Michelin star between 1986 and 1989, and subsequently received two Michelin stars from 1990 through 2000, signifying its exceptional culinary quality and esteemed market standing. The establishment's reputation was largely shaped by its head chef, Constant Fonk.

The restaurant occupied a historic edifice dating back to the 17th century, originally a bakery featuring a horse-powered mill—hence the name "Rosmolen," meaning "Horse mill" in Dutch. This distinctive historical environment played a significant role in defining its brand within the competitive fine dining landscape.
