Crump's Mill and Millpond is a historic grist mill and mill pond located near Talleysville, New Kent County, Virginia. The mill is dated to the 1870s, and is a simple rectangular two-story frame structure with a gable roof. Much of the mill machinery survives at Crump's Mill. It replaced a mill built before 1818 and destroyed by fire in 1872, and remained in operation until 1955. The damming of South Branch in the early-19th century created a large millpond in the shape of the letter "L." The mill sits behind the dam that creates the 16-acre millpond.[3] The mill and millpond are both located on private property.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[1]
