Richmond Centre (provincial electoral district)

Richmond Centre was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. Located in the central portion of the city of Richmond, the riding was created in 1988, and elected its first member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) at the 1991 provincial election. It was split into Richmond North Centre and Richmond South Centre following the 2015 British Columbia electoral redistribution. During its existence, it was considered a safe seat for the British Columbia Liberal Party.

The riding had the second lowest turnout (40.97%) in British Columbia at the 2009 provincial election, and the lowest turnout (43.65%) at the 2013 election.

The riding was recreated following the 2021 British Columbia electoral redistribution out of parts of Richmond North Centre and Richmond South Centre.
