The McArthur Glen Swindon Designer Outlet is Europe's largest covered designer outlet, occupying restored Great Western railway works, near Swindon town centre, England. Built by Carillion and opened in March 1997, it is located a few miles from junction 16 of the M4 motorway. Ten million people live within 90 minutes drive of the outlet and 3 million shoppers visit each year. Capacity for parking is 1,850.

There are 105 stores, including a John Lewis Home Outlet, LK Bennett, Burberry, Hobbs, Polo Ralph Lauren, Thomas Pink, Next Clearance, Tommy Hilfiger, Jaeger, Gap Outlet and Puma.

In the eating area, an actual steam locomotive that was built at Swindon is on display. The Severn Valley Railway's GWR 7800 Class 7819 Hinton Manor has been on display there since 2007 after replacing the railway's GWR 4900 Class 4930 Hagley Hall.
