Paramus Park is an enclosed shopping mall that is located on From Road in Paramus, New Jersey, United States. It is located on a plot of land that is bordered by the northbound lanes of NJ 17 and the southbound lanes of the Garden State Parkway, approximately two miles from the interchanges of both highways with NJ 4.

The mall is owned by General Growth Properties and is one of four malls operated by that company in New Jersey along with Willowbrook Mall in Wayne, Bridgewater Commons in Bridgewater, and Woodbridge Center in Woodbridge. Paramus Park has a gross leasable area (GLA) of 770,941 sq ft (71,622.8 m²).

Paramus Park is accessible from the northbound Garden State Parkway at exit 163 and at exit 165 in both directions. An entrance to the southbound lanes is located in the mall's rear parking lot. Access off of NJ-17 is available on two access roads named for its two original anchors, Sears and Abraham & Straus. The Sears Drive entrance is only available from the northbound lanes but southbound drivers are able to access A&S Drive via an exit and an overpass constructed specifically for the mall.

At 767,000 square feet and about 100 stores, Paramus Park, compared to the larger Westfield Garden State Plaza (which is three times its size), is a more regional, destination-oriented mall, with a higher-than-average sales per square foot, estimated by industry experts to be between $400 and $500 a square foot or more. In addition to attracting upscale shoppers and tenants, its smaller stores, lower congestion and location along the Garden State Parkway in an affluent area attracted shoppers responding to the late-2000s recession, according to a 2011 NorthJersey.com report.
