Inverclyde East Central is one of the seven wards used to elect members of the Inverclyde Council. It elects three Councillors.

The ward includes the majority of Port Glasgow, except the Bardrainney, Broadfield, Park Farm and Woodhall neighbourhoods in the east of the town which are part of the Inverclyde East ward. The modern residential developments at Kingston Dock / 4 Quays which straddle the border between Port Glasgow and Greenock is also within the Inverclyde East Central ward, as is the Gibshill neighbourhood which also adjoins The Port but was always considered to belong to Greenock.[1]
