Caythorpe is a hamlet in Nottinghamshire, ten miles north-east of Nottingham and standing close to the River Trent. At the 2001 census it had a recorded population of 259.

The hamlet has a water mill dated 1749.[1] A windmill stood in a field called Fairholme, later Woolf's Farm. This may be the mill referred to in an advertisement in the Nottingham Review of 1851: "Excellent Windmill containing two pair French Stones, dressing machine etc., cottage, stable, outbuildings, 7 to 8 acres land in occupation of Mr. Arnold." This mill is reputed to have been sold and transferred to Epperstone.[2] A windmill site is shown on the First Series Ordnance Survey map (SK654458).
