Circonscription Centre is an electoral constituency for Luxembourg's national legislature, the Chamber of Deputies.

It includes the cantons of Luxembourg and Mersch, both of which are in the district of Luxembourg. As of 2005, Centre has an estimated population of 151,166, or 33% of Luxembourg's total population.

Centre currently elects 21 deputies. Under Luxembourg's electoral system, which is a form of the Hagenbach-Bischoff System, that means that each voter can cast votes for up to 21 different candidates. Voting in Luxembourg is compulsory. Together, these two factors mean that there are far more votes cast than there are members of the electorate.
