The Fashion Center is a shopping center located in Paramus, New Jersey. It opened in 1967 as a traditional indoor shopping mall.

The center is currently anchored by Best Buy, Amazon Fresh, T.J. Maxx, and Buy Buy Baby. A Barnes & Noble bookstore operates in a building adjacent to the former mall, and several other businesses occupy smaller spaces. The property is owned by Willner Realty of Pennsylvania.
