Sherway Gardens is a major shopping mall located in Toronto, Ontario with over 200 stores. It is located on the south-east intersection of The Queensway and The West Mall in the west end of the city. It is owned and operated by Cadillac Fairview and features Sears, The Bay, and Holt Renfrew stores as its main anchors.

Major renovations of the mall took place from 1989 to 1991 and expanded the food court and retail areas.

The mall has been the topic of some controversy in the summer of 2007 as the management moved to ban smoking on the entire property, including the parking lot. For this initiative, it received a Heather Crowe award from Ontario's Ministry of the Environment. This was seen as ironic[citation needed] given that the owners of the mall are Cadillac Fairview, which is a subsidiary of the Ontario Teachers Pension Fund. The pension fund is an investor in the tobacco industry.
