Macquarie Centre is a shopping centre located in the suburb of Macquarie Park in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia and opposite Macquarie University's main campus.

The centre contains 250 retail stores over four-levels including a cinema complex, and one of only two ice rinks located in Sydney.

AMP Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund No. 2 wholly owns the centre after an ownership agreement was reached with former co-owner Westfield Management Limited in 2012.

It is the regional shopping centre for the Northern Suburbs.

The Epping to Chatswood rail link offers frequent train services to Macquarie University station located directly next to Macquarie Centre.

Macquarie Centre currently has bus connections to the Sydney CBD, Lane Cove, North Sydney, Chatswood, Mona Vale, Pyrmont, Parramatta, Blacktown, Auburn, Top Ryde, Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills, Eastwood, Strathfield, as well as local surrounding suburbs. Majority of its bus services are located in Herring Road in front of the shopping centre's main entrance.

Macquarie Centre was built in 1981, and has seen many renovations since. A key renovation was in 2000 when the 'Escape' and 'Loft' areas were opened, which included a major facelift to the shopping centre's entrances, extra parking and new retail stores. These included Borders, Dick Smith Powerhouse, Freedom, new food outlets and an expansion of the Greater Union cinema complex, from 8 to 16 cinemas.
