Greenwood Park Mall (sometimes simply referred to as "the Mall" by locals) is a shopping mall located in the Greenwood, Indiana suburb of Indianapolis, Indiana. It is directly south on U.S. Route 31 from Downtown Indianapolis and just minutes from both Indianapolis International Airport and Conseco Fieldhouse in Johnson County.

Built on an 87 acre site by Atkinson & Company at a cost of $25 million, the Greenwood Shopping Center opened in 1966. In 1977 Melvin Simon & Associates purchased the mall for an undisclosed amount of money, and in 1980—after much renovation and expansion—it was reopened as the Greenwood Park Mall. By 1990 an average of 10 million shoppers a year (about 28,000 a day) were patronizing the Greenwood Park Mall. The interior walking space area, not including the leased store spaces, is a total of convert|1000000|sqft|m2 of area.

The mall is in the heart of the shopping district at the intersection of U.S. 31 and County Line Road in Greenwood on the southside of the Indianapolis metro area. It is commonly associated with fellow central Indiana shopping malls also owned and operated by the Simon Property Group such as Circle Centre Mall, Lafayette Square Mall, Washington Square Mall and Castleton Square.

Greenwood Park Mall just underwent a major renovation to add a new "Lifestyle Shopping Mall" to the exterior of the Mall. The expansion officially opened on November 8th, 2007. The mall is now managed by the ever-talented Brian Nelson.
