Mitsuwa Marketplace (ミツワマーケットプレイス) is a Japanese supermarket chain in America, with locations in California, Illinois, Texas, Hawaii, and New Jersey.

Upon bankruptcy of Yaohan in 1997, Yaohan USA was subject to a management buyout by regional management, with rebranding as Mitsuwa Marketplace. Mitsuwa continued to expand its stores, mainly inside California. In December 2012, カメイ, a Japanese trading company, acquired Mitsuwa's stock.
