Circle Centre Mall is an indoor shopping mall located in Downtown Indianapolis. Circle Centre Mall was opened to the public on September 8, 1995, and incorporates existing downtown structures such as the former L. S. Ayres flagship store.

The mall consists of over 90 stores and restaurants on four levels with a gross leasable area of 786,000 square feet (73,000 m2) and two underground parking garages. When first conceived in the 1980s, it was intended to contain the existing Ayres and William H. Block department stores along with one or two others new to the city. Before the mall could open, both the Ayres and Block stores had closed, leaving Nordstrom and Parisian (later converted to Carson's) as anchors.

Construction of the mall cost $307.5 million. Efforts were made in its design to incorporate historic elements, such as the retention of the facades of buildings that had previously existed on the site.

With the closure of Nordstrom in 2011 and that of Carson's on April 29, 2018, the mall has no anchor stores. In response to the changing retail conditions, the mall has looked to non-traditional mall usages; in 2014, for example, the "Indianapolis Star" moved its offices into part of the space vacated by Nordstrom. A multi-million-dollar renovation and refurbishment of the mall began in 2018.
