The Village at Shirlington is a shopping center located on South Quincy Street in Arlington. Opened in 1944 as the Shirlington Shopping Center, it was the first large shopping center to open in the Washington, DC area, and one of the first in the United States.

After a period of decline during the 1970s, the shopping center was redeveloped into a 425,000 square foot facility and was renamed The Village at Shirlington in the mid-1980s.

In 2005 the center was further expanded by the addition of apartments, condominiums, a branch library, and the Signature Theatre. The village is home to a large variety of boutiques, eateries, and other shops.
