Stein Mart is an American discount men's and women's online retailer & former department store chain based in Jacksonville, Florida. Stein Mart had locations primarily in the Southeast, Texas, and California. Stein Mart stores sold recent trends in clothing for both men and women. Additionally, home decor, accessories, and shoes were all available at discounted prices.

In August 2020, the company announced that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and that it planned to close all of its 279 stores.[1] Stein Mart continues to operate as an online retailer, which is not related to the former company.

On March 2, 2023, Retail Ecommerce Ventures, Stein Mart's current parent, announced that it was mulling a possible bankruptcy filing.[2]
