Nederwaard Molen No.1 is a grondzeiler windmill in Molenwaard, Netherlands, and one of the Kinderdijk windmills in the municipality of Molenlanden. Dating from 1738, it is inhabited and cannot be visited, and it is owned by the Kinderdijk World Heritage Foundation. Its iron paddle wheel, 6.30 metres in diameter, drains the low basin of the Nederwaard. Around 1870, a buttress was added to the northeastern side of the hull to counter sagging that had developed over the years.
