Molin (Сербиан: Молин; German: Molidorf; Hungarian: Mollyfalva) was a former village in Banat, Serbia. The village was founded in 1833 and existed until 1961. The village was abandoned because of groundwater. It was located in the Nova Crnja municipality, Central Banat District, Vojvodina province.

At the end of World War II Molidorf was the site of a camp for ethnic Germans. The camp operated from September 1945 through April 1947. During this period, 2,012 people (documented by name) died in the camp. The most common causes of death were starvation, typhus and malaria.

In modern days, at the location of former village is a Molin Forest, which is used as a hunting ground.
