Fair Oaks Mall is a shopping mall in Fair Oaks, Fairfax County, Virginia, just northwest of the city of Fairfax. It is located at the intersection of Interstate 66 and U.S. Route 50. The mall has a gross leasable area (GLA) of 1,565,000 sq ft (145,400 m2). Its anchor stores are J. C. Penney, Lord & Taylor, Macy's, Macy's Furniture Gallery and Sears.

In August 2007 it was announced by Taubman Centers that preliminary plans were in the works to expand the mall by 34%.

From 2013 through 2014 Fair Oaks Mall underwent a renovation of the common areas of the mall. The five entrances to the mall were completely renovated, and a grand entrance was built on the north side of the mall along Route 50. The interior was updated with new floor tile, seating areas, technology tables, lighting, furniture, Michael & Son Fun Zone and customer service desk.

In June 2016 the restaurant Kona Grill opened, bringing the total sit-down restaurants offered to seven, including Cheesecake Factory, Brio Tuscan Grille, Texas de Brazil, On the Border, Luciano's and Sushi On.

Fair Oaks Mall officially opened on July 31, 1980. The 1,400,000-square-foot (130,000 m2) mall, developed by the Taubman Company, opened in the midst of a recession, with only four of six anchor stores in operation (Hecht's, JCPenney, Sears, and Woodward & Lothrop) and 15 other storefronts occupied, leaving three fourths of the storefronts empty. The two remaining anchors opened shortly after: Garfinckel's on August 21, 1980, and Lord & Taylor in spring 1981. Developers expected 60 to be occupied by the Christmas season and 100 by the following year. Upon opening, it was the largest mall in the Washington, D.C., area. It included the first suburban Washington location of the British homegoods store Conran's.
