Place d'Orléans is a large shopping mall in the eastern end of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, in the community of Orléans. The property is about 740,000 sq ft (69,000 m2). It has two large department stores (Sport Chek and Hudson's Bay) and about 175 small shops, including a food court. The Bay expanded in 1999, taking over a large section of the north side's upper level, and reducing the number of smaller shops. Other prominent shops included the Market Fresh grocery store (the company pulled out of Ontario, due to declining profits, on December 30, 2005, now Boathouse and Goodlife Fitness fill the vacated space), and, once the focus of the mall, Walmart. In early May 2006, Zellers opened a new store in the large retail space vacated by Walmart. In 2013, Zellers closed and was replaced by Target, but closed in 2015.

It was built in 1979. It expanded to its current size in 1990 and had a re-opening event in August that year. Place d'Orléans was one of the last enclosed malls built in Canada. Like many of its counterparts in North America, Place d'Orléans has been struggling to survive in the era of the big-box "power centres". Over the years it has seen anchors come and go, such as Eaton's, Woolco, Robinson's, Consumers Distributing and Walmart, which was replaced by Zellers. Place d'Orléans has taken on non-traditional tenants: a large portion of the second floor was leased to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) until 2015. In 2016 Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) took over the space that had been occupied by the RCMP. Walmart has since been relocated to Innes Road, which opened as a Walmart Supercenter in the summer of 2005.
