The Blanchardstown Centre is one of Ireland's largest shopping centres, and located in Blanchardstown, Dublin, Ireland. It opened in October 1996 and was extended in 2004 to create extra retail space. It lies in the administration of Fingal.

The Blanchardstown Centre is served by over 600 bus movements per day, and close to the M50 and M3 motorways.

In June 2016 the centre was sold to the Blackstone Group by Green Property for an estimated €950m.

The centre contains over 180 stores, 3 retail parks and 7,000 free car parking spaces. The four main anchor tenants in the shopping centre itself are Dunnes, Penney's, Marks and Spencer, and Debenhams. Other tenants include H&M, Superdry Store, Vero Moda, Jack & Jones, River Island, JD, Topshop/Topman, BT2 and Zara. The Blanchardstown Centre is also home to Ireland's largest TK Maxx store, Lifestyle Sports and 53 Degrees North, all of which are located in the "fashion park". Surrounding the centre are three retails parks, two of which are part of the centre, whilst the other, WestEnd Shopping Park is operated separately and features stores such as New Look, Argos, Lidl, Dealz, Nike Outlet, Heatons and Next. Harvey Norman, Smyths Toys, Currys PC World, Waltons Music, Elvery's Sports and DFS Sofas are also located in the retail parks around the centre.
