Hastings Mill was a sawmill on the south shore of Burrard Inlet and was the first commercial operation around which the settlement that would become Vancouver developed in British Columbia, Canada. Founded in 1865 by Edward Stamp, the sawmill operated until its closure in 1928.

The store building of Hastings Mills was moved to Alma Street in 1930, situated within present day Hastings Mill Park. The store building was opened as the Old Hastings Mill Store Museum in 1932, and houses exhibits that showcase artifacts and items of significance to Vancouver's history.
