Charlestown Square is a major regional shopping centre in Charlestown, New South Wales, a suburb of Lake Macquarie. It is owned and operated by General Property Trust. It was formerly managed Lend Lease Corporation.

Originally built in 1979 as a 2-story structure, the centre has undergone several extensions and renovations, with the last major extension being completed in 1996.[1] It currently has over 170 stores and is one of the largest shopping centres in the Hunter region. The centre now has 3 levels, and includes two food courts.[2]

The centre features a Myer, Big W, Target, Coles, Woolworths and numerous other stores.[3]

The centre is currently planning a significant expansion and has obtained support from Lake Macquarie City Council. There are a small number of vocal opponents, including local member of parliament Matthew Morris.[4]
