American Dream Miami is a proposed megamall and entertainment complex planned to be built in Miami-Dade County, United States. If completed, it would become the largest shopping mall in North America. The project shares its branding with American Dream Meadowlands in New Jersey; the second largest mall in the USA. The mall is being developed by the Triple Five Group, who own the 3 largest malls in North America: The Mall of America, the West Edmonton Mall, and the American Dream Meadowlands.

The mall is slated to contain a large indoor water park and ice rink.

To date, ADM has yet to break ground on the project.

In March 2015 the Triple Five Group announced plans for a megamall called "American World". However, the name was later changed to American Dream Miami to match its sister project American Dream Meadowlands. The project was planned to be completed by 2020 and attract 30,000 visitors a day.

Graham Companies proposed a related project in 2017, which would create 2,000 apartment units, additional retail space, and 1 million square feet (93,000 m) of office space that would be finished by 2040 and would cost $1.1 Billion to build. Also in 2017, the opening date of the project was pushed back to 2022 due to financing issues. Controversy also arose in 2017–18 around the project, as it could hurt the nearby Everglades National Park and create significant traffic problems along with adding to an oversaturated retail market in the region.

On May 17, 2018, the county board gave final approval to the commercial zoning for the site, allowing Triple Five to begin obtaining the permits needed for construction. It was also announced the project would not receive any taxpayer funding. Within the month, the board of county commissioners approved Triple Five's plan to purchase state land for construction.

In May, 2018, nearby Broward County threatened a lawsuit against the project, arguing that Miami-Dade County underestimated the potential impact on Broward County traffic.

The debate over construction of the mall became an issue in the Democratic primary of the 2018 Florida gubernatorial election, as candidate Gwen Graham was criticized by environmentalists, progressives, and UNITE HERE for her ties to the project.

Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, the mall was delayed once more and underwent design changes. However, Triple Five stuck with the original design. With the 2022 opening date scrapped, and its current opening date being late 2026, construction of the complex partially depends on the Florida Turnpike extension.

The mall is planned to be in northwestern Miami-Dade County, within the Miami-Dade County's Urban Development Boundary. The site was first dredged in the 1920s and used as a dairy farm by Ernest "Cap" Graham, who later became a member of the Florida Senate. Ernest is also the founder of Graham Companies. The Graham family stopped running the dairy farm in the 1950s and the site became wetland and remains another one of the large undeveloped areas with Miami-Dade's Urban Development Boundary. The mall is expected to cost over $5 Billion and currently has not started construction. At 6.2 million square feet, the mall will be the largest in North America, and the 6th largest mall in the world.
