The Anglican Church in Central America (Spanish: Iglesia Anglicana de la Región Central de América) is a province of the Anglican Communion, covering five sees in Central America.

Four of the five dioceses of the Iglesia Anglicana de la Región Central de America were founded by the Episcopal Church in the United States of America. Anglicanism was also introduced by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel when England administered two colonies in Central America, British Honduras and Miskitia. In later years, immigrants brought the Anglican Church with them. This first period is often called the time of the chaplaincies.

Bishop William C. Frey was consecrated as the first missionary bishop of the Diocese of Guatemala in 1967.

By 2008, the Anglican Church in Central America had voted to consecrate women bishops although none of have been consecrated as of yet. By 2013, the Diocese of El Salvador offered ministries on behalf of and in support of LGBT members.

Julio Murray, bishop of Panama, was elected in April 2018 as primate, he will succeed Sturdie Downs, bishop of Nicaragua in August 2018 when his instalation service is expected to take place. Downs was elected in late 2014 to serve a four-year term of office as primate (2015–2019); he succeeded Armando Guerra, bishop of Guatemala (2011–2015), who in turn succeeded Martin Barahona, bishop of El Salvador (2003–2011).

Today, there are over 35,000 Anglicans out of an estimated population of 30.1 million.
