R. W. George Mill, also known as Bob George's Mill and Spencer Mill, is historic corn mill located near Francisco, Stokes County, North Carolina. It was built in 1881, and is a two-story, rectangular, frame building sheathed in weatherboard. It has a gable roof and three frame additions dating from the mid-1940s. Also on the property is the contributing concrete mill dam. During World War II, it was converted from a corn mill to a small textile mill, known as Spencer Mills, that produced parachute fabric for the federal government.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
