Westfield Garden City, better known as Garden City, is one of Brisbane's major shopping centres, located in the suburb of Upper Mount Gravatt. The centre is operated by Westfield, and previously operated by AMP Limited before the takeover in 2003. The centre was originally opened in 1970 and has since undergone multiple extensions that have added stores such as Harvey Norman, Toys 'R' Us, Kmart and Queensland's largest Big W to the centre.

The centre includes the Garden City Bus Station and the adjacent Upper Mount Gravatt Busway Station, which is a major hub for Brisbane Transport buses on the southside.

Within the centre is a post office, 3 Supanews newsagents and a Brisbane City Council public library. Another notable feature of Garden City is the Town Square, which is an outdoor dining area featuring coffee shops, restaurants and a megaplex cinema complex.

Future expansion of the centre has been earmarked, as per the Westfield Group 2007 Annual Report. This expansion is believed to extend out the southern end of the centre to create a new mall linking Kmart and Harvey Norman to Officeworks and Rebel Sport. A full centre refurbishment and upgrade is also expected as part of the expansion.
