Walt Whitman Shops (formerly known as Walt Whitman Mall) is a luxury shopping mall located in Huntington Station, New York on Walt Whitman Road (Route 110) and New York Avenue. It has many stores including main anchors Bloomingdale's, Lord & Taylor, Macy's and Saks Fifth Avenue. The mall is owned and managed by Melvin Simon and Associates, 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. Suffolk County Transit, Nassau Inter-County Express and Huntington Area Rapid Transit all have bus routes that service the mall.

Walt Whitman Shops was the first enclosed mall located on Long Island.

The mall is named for the poet Walt Whitman due to the close proximity to his birthplace, a National Historic site located just down the road from the mall on Walt Whitman Road (Route 110).

Walt Whitman Shops does not feature a proper food court. However, restaurants such as California Pizza Kitchen, P.F. Chang's China Bistro, Brio Tuscan Grille, Zinburger, Panera Bread, 59th and Lex Café located in the basement of Bloomingdale's, Cirella's, located on the 1st floor of Saks Fifth Avenue, and The Cheesecake Factory can be found at Walt Whitman Shops. An IHOP and Subway are situated across the street from the mall. There is also a JANI Chinese & Japanese Cuisine, an Applebee's and a Five Guys one block south of the mall at an adjacent shopping center, as well as a Chipotle across the street from that center.
