Lakeside Village is an open-air shopping mall located on the southern side of Lakeland, Florida, in the United States. Located off the Polk Parkway at Harden Boulevard, it is classified as a "regional mall" by the International Council of Shopping Centers, [http://www.icsc.org/srch/lib/USDefinitions.pdf International Council of Shopping Centers] Shopping Center Definitions for the U.S. Information accurate as of 2004. Retrieved Feb 20, 2007.] and it draws shoppers from much of the Lakeland metropolitan area. It is also a popular spot among teenagers where they loiter (or according to some reports, spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ) until 11pm.

It is also a mixed-use complex, with office space available and a hotel nearing completion as of April 2008.

Since opening, the shopping center has caused businesses off of Florida Avenue to either close or relocate due to competition.
