Scarborough Centre is a provincial electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in Legislative Assembly of Ontario since 1963.

It consists of the part of the Scarborough district of the City of Toronto bounded:

on the west by Victoria Park Avenue,
on the north by Highway 401,
on the east by Toyota Place, Corporate Drive and Bellamy Road North, and
on the south by Eglinton Avenue East, the Canadian National Railway and the hydroelectric transmission line situated north of Romulus Drive.

Notable landmarks in Scarborough Centre include:

Scarborough Civic Centre, site of east Toronto district council meetings, and adjacent Albert Campbell Square
Scarborough Town Centre, a large shopping mall
Scarborough Centre (TTC) RT station
Scarborough Hospital, General Division
Scarborough Historical Museum

It has been represented in the Ontario Legislature by Liberal Brad Duguid since 2003.

Scarborough Centre is a bellwether riding, having voted for the winner in every election since 1971 (longer than any other provincial riding). However, it did comprise different territories, changing shape significantly between the 1995 and 1999 elections.
