Northpoint Shopping Centre (Chinese: 纳福坊) is the first major suburban shopping mall in Singapore, and was opened in Nov/ Dec 1992. The shopping centre serves the residents of Yishun New Town and it is located across Yishun Avenue 2 from Yishun MRT Station, accessible via an underpass.

As the first suburban mall, it received a lot of publicity. As this is the first mall, it marked the first time some of these departmental stores or shops venturing to the New Towns. Shops or brand name like Cold Storage, John Little, Swensen's, Giodarno, Guardian, Photo Finish, Mark and Spencer's and Toys R Us opened their first outlet in the heartland. Now it is common to see these outlets in the suburban areas.

In 2001, Northpoint underwent a refurbishment programme which saw the interior flooring and signage being replaced.

In 2002, a 2 storey annex housing small eateries and retail outlets was opened on the site adjacent to the bus interchange. The annex was closed in 2007 so that additions to the existing annex could be made to integrate it with the rest of the existing Northpoint and its extension. The annex will reopen in 2009.

A new extension to Northpoint Shopping Centre opened in October 2008 while a refurbishment and reconfiguration of the existing Northpoint Shopping Centre is ongoing and scheduled for completion in June 2009.
