Edmonton City Centre is a shopping mall in downtown Edmonton, Alberta, Canada across the street from Churchill Square.

After the demise of the Eaton's department store in 1999, the Edmonton Eaton Centre and Edmonton Centre, formerly two independent malls, were redeveloped into one shopping complex connected by a newer and larger pedestrian bridge (that itself contains a number of shops). The Bay, a former Eaton's competitor, moved into part of the former Eaton's store, with the remainder of the store also partially converted into a parking garage and call centre. The former Bay location in the Edmonton Centre is now heavily renovated and converted into smaller retail stores and the Edmonton operations of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The Edmonton City Centre also has a movie theatre and pedway connections to other buildings and the LRT.
