Brent Central will be a parliamentary constituency represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It will elect one Member of Parliament (MP) by the first past the post system of election.
Following its review of parliamentary representation in North London, the Boundary Commission for England reduced Brent's constituencies from three to two. Brent East and Brent South are both to be abolished, with their central wards merged into the new constituency.

The electoral wards of the new Brent Central constituency are entirely within the London Borough of Brent and are a mix of Liberal Democrat and Labour territory. The Conservative party do not hold a single ward in the new constituency.
- Dollis Hill, Dudden Hill, Harlesden, Kensal Green, Mapesbury, Stonebrige, Tokyngton, Welsh Harp and Willesden Green.
This is mostly in the postal district of NW10 but also partly falls under NW2, NW9 and HA0.
