Centro Habana is one of the 15 municipalities in the city of Havana, Cuba. A chinatown, Barrio Chino, is also located here. It is a smaller municipality of Havana, and it has the highest population density.

Centro Habana is divided into five consejos populares (wards): Cayo Hueso, Colón, Dragones, Los Sitios and Pueblo Nuevo.

The infrastructure of the city, built 450 years ago, heavily deteriorated during the 1990s after the collapse of the Cuban–Soviet trade partnership. In 1996, restoration projects were started to improve housing and infrastructure in the Cayo Hueso community.

Centro Habana was established as an administrative division in 1963 and later formally made its own municipio in 1976.
