Saint John Centre was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of New Brunswick, Canada. It used a bloc voting system to elect candidates, and was created from Saint John in 1795 as Saint John City. It was abolished with the 1973 electoral redistribution, when the province moved to single-member ridings.
