Coral Square is an enclosed shopping mall in Coral Springs, Florida in central Metropolitan Miami. It opened in 1984, and is currently owned and managed by Simon Property Group. The mall also has about 120 shops and eateries, and was built by the Edward J. DeBartolo Corporation like the Miami International Mall and the Boynton Beach Mall for which they are similar in layout.

Like Miami International Mall, anchor stores include JCPenney, two Macy's stores that were formerly Burdines and Jordan Marsh, Sears, and Kohl's, which opened in 2011 in a building that was previously occupied by Lord & Taylor, Mervyns, and Dillard's.

The mall underwent a major renovation in 1995, and again in late 2008.

On November 26, 2016 a shop owner shot and wounded an employee, then turned the gun on himself and killed himself.[3] Coral Springs Fire Department took the wounded to a nearby hospital, where they were expected to be ok. The mall was closed for the morning then reopened later in the afternoon with heavily armed Coral Springs Police Officers.
