Copley Place is a mixed-use complex of four office buildings, two hotels, and a shopping mall in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts, United States. Construction began in 1980, which required air rights over the Massachusetts Turnpike, and was completed in 1984. It is owned and managed by Simon Property Group. It also connects to several nearby destinations managed separately from the center, including the Prudential Center complex, the Sheraton Boston Hotel, and multi-modal Back Bay station. The shopping mall is anchored by Neiman Marcus and a Saks Fifth Avenue men's store.

In November 2019, the online business news website MassLive rated Copley Place as fourth, and the immediately adjacent Prudential Center as fifth best among 40 malls and shopping centers in Massachusetts.
