The Teanlowe Centre is a shopping centre in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, England. Completed in 1974,[1] it is bounded by Tithebarn Street to the north, Church Street to the east, Blackpool Old Road (the B5267) to the south and Queensway (also the B5267) to the west.

Its name is derived from Halloween festival (Teanlay)[2] that took place on the site in mediaeval times.[3] The name was chosen by a student from Poulton's Hodgson High School.[4]

There are three entrances to the Teanlowe Centre: one from the Tithebarn Street and Queensway car park, one from Blackpool Old Road and one from Church Street.[3]
