The Westuit Nr. 7, also called the Koggemolen, is a windmill on the Kolkweg in Aartswoud, North Holland, Nethelands. Until 1908 the mill (along with 24 others) drained the water from the Vier Noorder Koggen onto the Zuiderzee, an area of circa 13.524 hectare. After it was taken out of service, Westuit Nr. 7 was used as a residence. It was restored to its former status in two stages; in 1997 it was made to turn again, and in 2009 the inner mechanism was restored so the mill could pump again.
The mill is to the south of the Westfriesedijk (part of the Westfriese Omringdijk) just outside Aartswoud. It is owned by Stichting de Westfriese Molens.
