Center Point is an extinct town in Atchison County, in the U.S. state of Missouri. The GNIS classifies it as a populated place, but the precise location of the town site is unknown.[1]

A post office called Center Point was established in 1875, and remained in operation until 1880.[2] The community was named for its central location relative to the township in which it was located.[3]
