Smith Haven Mall is a shopping mall located in Lake Grove, New York and is the main mall for the "Mid Island" area of Long Island. It is also the eastern most enclosed mall on Long Island, and thus draws shoppers from the (5) towns that make up the Hamptons, and the North Fork.

The complex covers an area of 1,400,000-square-foot (130,000 m²) of retail space, with the key building (opened in 1969) being one story and 800,000-square-foot (74,000 m²), which includes over 140 shops and restaurants. The mall has been managed since 1995 by Simon Property Group, which owns 25% of the mall one of the largest developers of shopping malls in the United States and owner of Long Island's largest mall, Roosevelt Field in Garden City. Its name is a portmanteau of the towns of Smithtown and Brookhaven, as the mall overlaps the boundaries of these towns, Also the mall overlaps the boundaries of the Smithtown Central School District and Middle Country Central School District.

Plans for the mall were first announced in October 1965 by Macy's, to be called "Nesconset Shopping Center". After a preview event with guest of honor Robert Moses on March 10, 1969, the mall, with anchors Macy's and Abraham & Straus (later Stern's and now a lifestyle village), opened on March 12. They were followed soon after by a 68,000-square-foot (6,300 m²) Martin's (later Steinbach and JCPenney), and then Sears.
