The Central Highlands Council is a Local Government Area of Tasmania. It covers most of the mountainous centre of the state.

The population of the area is small and quite decentralised, resulting in a large number of small towns - Bothwell, Bronte Park, Derwent Bridge, Ouse, Liawenee, Miena and Tarraleah. Some of these towns were founded as support sites for workers on the hydro-electric dams scattered along the upper Derwent River. Main towns are considered as Bothwell and Hamilton.
