Central is a city in the U.S. state of Louisiana, the third largest city in East Baton Rouge Parish, and part of the Baton Rouge metropolitan statistical area. Central had a 2020 census population of 29,565.

Long an unincorporated suburb of Baton Rouge, the citizens of Central voted to incorporate as a city on April 23, 2005, despite opposition from the parish. Businessman Russell Starns headed the incorporation movement, saying it was based on residents' desire to establish a school system separate from that of East Baton Rouge Parish. The Louisiana State Legislature allowed Central to operate a separate school system only after the city was incorporated.

It had about 25,000 residents when it was incorporated. Former Central High School principal Shelton "Mac" Watts became the temporary mayor upon the incorporation of the city.
