Crofton Mill is a pulp mill and paper mill located in the Canadian town of Crofton, British Columbia. Part of Catalyst Paper, the mill has two paper machines which produce 349,000 tonnes of newsprint and directory paper, and 355,000 tonnes of northern bleached softwood kraft. The mill has 578 employees as of 2014.^[1]

The mill was established by British Columbia Forest Products (BCFP) in 1957, originally operating only a single-line kraft pulp mill.^[2] A newsprint line was installed in 1964.^[3] BCFP and the mill were bought by Fletcher Challenge in 1987 through its Canadian operations division Crown Forest Industries, and merged to form Fletcher Challenge Canada. This was again bought by Norske Skog in 2000 and became part of their Canadian division, which became Catalyst Paper in 2005.^[2]
