Pacific Sunwear (also known as PacSun) is a shopping mall retail store that sells clothing and accessories for teenagers and young adults. It was originally based in Newport Beach, California, United States. The current corporate offices are now located in Anaheim, with distribution centers in Anaheim, California and Olathe, Kansas.

The store started as a surf shop in 1980 under a different name, selling surfboards and wax. The first mall store opened in 1981 in Santa Monica Place in Santa Monica, California. By 1987, they had a total of 21 stores. In 1993, the company was operating 60 stores. More recently, the company has opened up to more styles than just surfwear, adding sweatshirts, jeans, accessories, and shoes often associated with skateboarding culture to keep up with current trends. Popular clothing brands sold at the store include Roxy, LiLu, Kirra, Bullhead, Element, Billabong, Rusty, Vans, Etnies, O'Neill, Paul Frank, and Hurley. The company's stock is publicly traded on the NASDAQ under the symbol PSUN.

The company also operates Demo, which has a "hip hop-inspired" theme, as well as an upscale shoe store called One Thousand Steps.
