The Lakeland Square Mall is a shopping mall located on the northern side of Lakeland, Florida in the United States and one of two enclosed malls serving Polk County. It is the only shopping mall located off of I-4 between Tampa and Orlando, and it serves the populations of western Polk County.

The shopping mall has six anchor stores, including the Burlington Coat Factory, two Dillard's locations, J.C. Penney, Macy's and Sears.

The Lakeland Square Mall has been the main upscale shopping center for Lakeland during the 1990s, but since 2005 it has lost Belk to the competing Lakeside Village, an open-air lifestyle center that opened on the south side of the city.
