Rideau Centre is a three level shopping center on Rideau Street in downtown Ottawa, Ontario. It borders on the Byward Market, the Rideau Canal, the Mackenzie King Bridge, and Nicholas Street.

At the time of its construction in 1981-82 the Rideau Centre was somewhat controversial. Many people were opposed to the destruction of several heritage buildings on Rideau Street. Others feared the impact of increased traffic and buses on the area.

Today the Rideau Centre is a major transportation and shopping hub in downtown Ottawa. It is one of the most popular and largest malls in the city. Prominent tenants include the Bay, Sears, and Chapters.

The Rideau Centre incorporates the Westin Hotel, a movie theatre, a convention centre, two (originally three) large department stores, and about 200 other shops.
