Shoppers City West was a mall located in Nepean, Ontario, a suburb of Ottawa. The mall opened in November 1961 and closed its doors in July 2001. It was later demolished, and a new mall called College Square built on the site by First Capital Realty and the Leiken Group. It was at the corner of Baseline Road and Woodroffe Avenue, and is north of Algonquin College.

Over the years, the mall had stores like a barber shop, dry cleaners, a restaurant, Loblaws, and Towers, which later changed to Zellers.

In its location there was a strip mall featuring Chances R, LCBO, Pet Value, and a drug store. Chances R opened in 1976 and is co-owned by former hockey player and Ottawa 67's coach Brian Kilrea. Chances R is the only business that existed after Shoppers was demolished, and was re-opened in College Square in 2002. Other buildings included a gas station, beer store, a round-shaped post office building, and a McDonald's.
