The Dedham Mall is a former indoor shopping mall which currently operates as an open-air power center located on Route 1 in Dedham, Massachusetts. The mall served the adjacent southeastern neighborhoods of Boston including West Roxbury, Roslindale, Readville and Hyde Park as well as the surrounding suburban towns of Westwood, Milton, and Needham. The site is located north of downtown Dedham and abuts the Charles River to the west.

At its peak, the mall featured national anchor stores such as Sears, Bradlees, and Woolworth’s, along with dozens of smaller retailers. Beginning in the early 2000s, the property underwent a significant transformation from an enclosed mall into an outward-facing power center. Despite the changes in layout and tenant mix, the site continues to operate under the “Dedham Mall” name; however, it is functionally no longer an indoor mall.
