The Ravensworth Shopping Center is a shopping center in Springfield. It was built in 1965 on the former location of the Ravensworth Mansion and is adjacent to the Ravensworth Industrial Park.

It is owned by Ravensworth Properties and has been expanded twice, in 1967 and 1981.[1]

In 2011 Ravensworth Properties announced a plan to redevelop and expand the site in cooperation with the Potomac Development Group starting in 2015.[1] The cost of this project was variously given at $15 million to $30 million.[1][2]

Don C. McIlvaine, the general manager of Ravensworth Properties, announced at a community meeting on October 16, 2014 that the lease for the Safeway that had long anchored the center would not be renewed and a Lotte Plaza Market would replace it.[3]
