Snowflake Mill was a pulp mill and paper mill located in the US town of Snowflake, Arizona. The mill had two paper machines which produced 339,000 tonnes of newsprint and uncoated fine paper. It sourced its fiber from two deinking pulp lines. The mill had 293 employees as of 2014. Transport to and from the mill was carried out on the Apache Railway.

Founded in 1961, the mill was eventually owned by the Stone Container Corporation. Ownership passed to Abitibi-Consolidated in 1998 and then to Catalyst Paper in 2008. Due to increased recycled paper prices and a decline in the demand for newsprint, the mill was closed on 30 September 2012.
