Golden Mile Complex (map) is a sixteen-storey shopping mall-cum-residential complex along Beach Road in Kallang, Singapore. It was named after the area between Beach Road and Nicoll Highway, which was planned to be occupied by high rises.

 The Golden Mile Complex was completed in 1973 at a cost of S$18 million. It was one of the early shopping malls of Singapore, with some 411 shops. Over the years, however, most of the shop outlets been taken over by Thai operators, so much so that entering the mall today is like arriving in Hatyai (and with all due respect to Hatyai, the shopping malls there look better). The ground level of Golden Mile Complex is occupied by travel agencies selling bus tickets to Malaysia.

The dilapidated appearance of Golden Mile Complex - despite a minor upgrading effort in 2003 - has not gone unnoticed. In 2006, Nominated Member of Member Ivan Png described it as a vertical slum, a terrible eyesore and a national disgrace, all apt descriptions of the mall. Today there is a plan to put the whole development for sale. If this happens, then we can see a total makeover of Golden Mile Complex.
