Lenox Square, owned by the Simon Property Group since 1998, is an upscale super-regional shopping mall located in the Buckhead neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia, in the United States.

The enclosure of the mall was undertaken in tandem with the construction of a new wing, which included Georgia's first and only Neiman Marcus. A Franklin Simon & Co. store was also located at the mall at this time.
