SM is a chain of shopping malls and retail stores owned by Philippines-based SM Prime. As of October 2024, it has a total of 95 malls (87 in the Philippines and 8 in China). It was also formerly known as ShoeMart.

SM was pioneered by Henry Sy, a Chinese-Filipino businessman whose roots traces back to Fujian. Sy opened his first shoe store in Quiapo in 1948 and later the first store under the ShoeMart (SM) name in 1958 along Carriedo. In 1972, Shoemart turned into a full-line department store.

In 1985, the company ventured into the supermarket and home appliance store business. It opened the first "Supermall" in the same year named SM North EDSA in Quezon City.

SM expanded abroad with the opening of its first branch in China in 2001. The mall is SM City Xiamen in Fujian.
