Gateway Theatre of Shopping (also known simply as Gateway) is a large shopping mall located on uMhlanga Ridge in uMhlanga, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

Gateway is one of the 100 largest malls in the world.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The mall sees more than two million visitors coming through its doors per month.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The centre was modelled on the Mall of America and West Edmonton Mall centres and was developed by Old Mutual Properties.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The construction and opening of Gateway Theatre of Shopping has also been the driving force for many new developments in the area. Originally a sugar cane plantation, the establishment of Gateway on the site has led to the development of a new town centre and both commercial and residential developments within the region. There is also a hotel attached to the mall called the Gateway Hotel operated by AHA Hotels.<ref>Template:Cite journalTemplate:Dead link</ref>
