Quarry Bank Mill is an historic factory in Cheshire, England, one of the best preserved of the Industrial Revolution.

Founded by Samuel Greg in 1784 in the village of Styal on the River Bollin, it features a water wheel designed by Peter Ewart. The surrounding estate, also developed by Greg, is the most complete and least altered factory colony of the industrial revolution. The estate and mill are currently owned and maintained by the National Trust and are open to the public.

The factory was founded for the spinning and weaving of cotton and by Greg's retirement in 1832 was the largest such business in the UK.
