Smith Haven Mall is a shopping mall and nearby complex of big box stores located in Lake Grove, New York and is the main mall for the "Mid Island" area of Long Island. It is owned by Simon Malls. The complex covers an area of 1,400,000 foot2 of retail space, with the key building (opened in 1969) being one story and 800,000 foot2, which includes over 140 shops and restaurants. The mall is owned and managed by Melvin Simon and Associates, one of the largest developers of shopping malls in the United States and owner of Long Island's largest mall, Roosevelt Field Mall in Garden City. Its name is a portmanteau of two nearby towns, Smithtown and Brookhaven.

The food court is notable in that it was home to one of the final works of noted sculptor Alexander Calder, which was made especially for the mall. The food court was named Calder Court for the sculptor, although this was later changed to Saturn Court as the car dealership picked up the food court's sponsorship. No artwork remains from the gallery which existed at the mall's inception, which included work from Peter Max and Larry Rivers, among others.

Smith Haven recently underwent a massive multi-million dollar renovation project, in which a lifestyle village was built over the space once occupied by Stern's and the adjacent unused parking lots. Major retailers there include Eddie Bauer, Abercrombie & Fitch's upscale RUEHL concept, Dick's Sporting Goods, and California Pizza Kitchen. Elsewhere in the mall, Abercrombie & Fitch's new concept Gilly Hicks, an underwear store, has opened its doors. On September 9, 2006, an Apple Store was added to the mall with many.visitors on hand to commemorate it. In addition, on November 16, 2006 the newly constructed Cheesecake Factory upscale casual dining restaurant was opened.
