The Basel Paper Mill Museum (Basler Papiermühle) is a museum dedicated to the history of papermaking located in Basel, Switzerland. The museum is housed in a former paper mill that was first documented in 1453. The mill was converted into a museum in 1980 after several decades of disuse.

The exhibits at the museum trace the development of papermaking from the Middle Ages to the present day, showcasing various techniques and machines used throughout the centuries. The museum's collection includes original machinery, watermarks, and rare printed works. There are also exhibits that explore the social and economic impact of papermaking on the city of Basel and beyond.

In addition to the permanent exhibits, the museum also hosts temporary exhibitions, workshops, and events related to papermaking and bookbinding. Visitors can also try their hand at making their own paper in a hands-on workshop. The museum's gift shop sells paper and other items made on-site, as well as books and souvenirs related to papermaking.
