Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre was a community mall located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It was located between Carling Avenue and Richmond Road, just west of the Sir John A.

Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre was located at 2525 Carling Ave., Ottawa, ON, K2B 7Z23. It was situated near the Ottawa River and the Lincoln Fields transit station. It was originally part of a project named “Cinema City”, proposed in 1964, that would feature over 80 stores, a movie theatre and apartment buildings. However, the project was scaled down and delayed due to rising costs and changing market conditions. The site’s original developers sold the land to a new team who instead built a $3.8 million single-story shopping mall. The mall broke ground on June 9, 1971 and opened on May 24, 1972, becoming the city’s third enclosed shopping centre. In 1985, the mall underwent renovations and was rebranded as Lincoln Heights Galleria, though residents continued referring to the mall as "Lincoln Fields". Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre was owned and managed by RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, one of Canada’s largest real estate companies. RioCan acquired the mall in 1996 as part of a portfolio of properties from Markborough Properties Inc. RioCan announced in 2018 that it would redevelop the site into a mixed-use community with residential towers, retail spaces and public amenities.
