CentralWorld (lang-th??????????????) is a shopping plaza and complex in Bangkok, Thailand. It is the third largest shopping complex in the world. The complex, which included a hotel and office tower, is owned by Central Pattana. In 2006, after three years of design and renovation, CentralWorld was expanded to 550,000 square metres of shopping mall and 1,024,000 square metres of complex, topping its nearby rival Siam Paragon in terms of size.

On May 19, 2010, CentralWorld was seriously damaged by the fire that rioters caused in the aftermath of a military operation against anti-government protesters (2010 Thai political protests) known as Red Shirts (National United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship). Initial media reports at the time indicated that the mall may have to be demolished. The owners later indicated that the rear of the mall could be renovated and portions might re-open in as little as six months, with damaged parts of the mall possibly requiring demolishing and rebuilding.
