Wheelock Place (Chinese: 伟乐坊; pinyin: Wěilèfāng), (Tamil வீல்லாக் ப்லேஸ்) is a 21-floor office tower and shopping mall on Singapore's Orchard Road. The building was designed by Kisho Kurokawa and completed in 1994 as Lane Crawford Place (Chinese: 达卡佛坊). It is now owned by Wheelock Properties, a division of Hong Kong's The Wharf (Holdings) Limited.
The mall has an underpass to Shaw House and ION Orchard. It was the site of Borders' flagship Singapore store until its closure in 2011.

“Both place and time were changed, and I dwelt nearer to those parts of the universe and to those eras in history which had most attracted me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
