Eastern Hills Mall, which opened in 1972, is a shopping mall located at the west border of the Town of Clarence in Erie County, New York, USA. It lies on Transit Road (NYS Route 78), which divides Clarence from the Town of Amherst. The mall is north of the junction of NY-78 with NY-5, Main Street.

The name "Eastern Hills" refers to the very low hills that contribute to a slightly higher elevation than the bordering areas.

Eastern Hills Mall is part of a long commercial strip on Transit Road.It consists of two long wings running North and South and two short wings running East and West, with a major department store at the end of each wing. A food court is located near the end of the long South wing. A three-screen movie theater showing mainly Independent films is also located in the mall. There is an extensive parking lot around the entire complex providing the highest parking ratio of any Buffalo area mall. "The Shops at Main/Transit", a strip type shopping plaza, is located next to Eastern Hills. For more details visit www.shopeasternhills.com.
