Windsor Park Mall was a shopping mall located in the northeast section San Antonio, Texas off Interstate 35 and Walzem Road. The mall has since closed.

Rackspace has made a deal to move their corporate headquarters from Northwest San Antonio to Windsor Park Mall. The same deal adjusted the San Antonio, Texas city boundaries, allowing Windcrest, Texas to obtain convert|221|acre|km2 which includes the land that the mall occupies.
