Metropolis at Metrotown (commonly referred to as Metrotown or Metro, and formerly known as Metrotown Centre, or Eaton Centre Metrotown) is a four-storey shopping mall complex in Metrotown, Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. With over 450 shops and services, the anchors are Hudson's Bay, Sears, Toys "R" Us, T & T Supermarket, Sport Chek/Atmosphere, Chapters, Forever 21, H&M, Old Navy, Real Canadian Superstore, Urban Behavior, Winners/HomeSense, Zara and Cineplex Cinemas.

It is the largest mall in British Columbia, and the third largest in Canada. The mall is located adjacent to Metrotown Station on the SkyTrain rapid transit system. Three office buildings are part of the complex along Central Boulevard.

27 million customers visit the mall annually.

Metrotown Centre opened in 1986 — attached to a new Woodward's department store, and a Sears Canada department store that had been operating there since the early 1950s - on land that had held a Ford Canada motor factory, warehouses, other light industry, and a supermarket, and which was adjacent to the former Vancouver Interurban Rail line (now the route for the SkyTrain). The mall has been expanded and renovated several times, and has contributed to the rapid growth of the area's population. A new Bay store and an expansion wing was added in 1992.
