Wiregrass Commons Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located in Dothan, Alabama. It has 638,554 square feet (59,000 m2) of shopping with over fifty retail stores and a food court with a carousel. It is Southeast Alabama's only shopping mall. The mall's anchor tenants are Belk, Burlington Coat Factory (opened 2009),[2] Dillard's, and JCPenney (with Sephora). The mall also includes a Jo-Ann Fabric & Crafts store.

Wiregrass Commons Mall was opened in August 1986 with Gayfers, Parisian, and McRae's among its original anchors. With the opening of Wiregrass Commons, the Porter Square Mall located near downtown Dothan closed. The mall was renovated in 2008 with an expansion to the Belk store, carpeting of the mall, removal of the fountain in center court, new lighting, and outside directional signs. CBL & Associates Properties purchased the mall from Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust in April 2016. A Sephora location opened in JCPenney in June 2016. Victoria's Secret & Pink opened a larger store in center court in July 2017.

In August 2018, Wiregrass Commons Mall was sold to Namdar Realty Group based out of New York.

The mall is located at the intersection of US 231/Ross Clark Circle in northwest Dothan.
