The Grafton Centre is a covered shopping centre in Cambridge, England. It is one of the three main shopping centres in Cambridge – the others are the Lion Yard and the Grand Arcade, the newest and largest of the three. The Grafton Centre is on the eastern edge of the main shopping district while the Lion Yard and Grand Arcade are more central.

The Grafton Centre was constructed in the early 1980s and dominates Fitzroy Street and Burleigh Street. It is currently undergoing a refurbishment programme.

The main mall is linear, running from east to west. It has three atria, the Eastern one being the largest. The mall is laid out across two storeys with some of the shops having more than one storey too.
