LynnMall is a shopping centre in New Lynn, a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand.

New Zealand's first[2] shopping centre, LynnMall, opened in 1963. Since then, the centre has continued to evolve and in 2015 underwent redevelopment to incorporate an eight-screen cinema complex and an outdoor dining lane. Together with the existing Farmers department store and Countdown supermarket, the centre provides a shopping destination in the developing town centre of New Lynn.

In January 2015, Lynnmall commenced a $36 million expansion, named Brickworks, which included a new cinema, dining precinct and additional stores.[3] In November that year, Brickworks officially opened to the public.[4]

Seven people were injured in a stabbing attack on 3 September 2021 at the mall, one of whom narrowly missed the knife but was still affected. The attacker Ahamed Samsudeen was shot and killed by police.[5]
