The Lehigh Valley Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in the Whitehall, Pennsylvania area. It is the largest shopping mall in the Lehigh Valley region of Pennsylvania.

The mall is located northeast of Allentown, at Pennsylvania Route 145/MacArthur Road, U.S. Route 22, and Grape Street in Whitehall Township.

Originally opened in 1976, the mall was purchased by Kravco Simon in 2003. In 1995, the mall went under its first major renovation. The spiral ramp was removed to make way for a glass elevator, fountains were removed, and renovations to the mall's interior and exterior appearance were made. A 120,000 square foot upscale outdoor shopping addition was added in October 2007, housing such stores as Coach, Sephora, and Barnes and Noble.
