Brent Central is a constituency represented in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. Created in 2010, it has been represented since 2015 by Dawn Butler of the Labour Party.

The seat was made in the London review of seats of the Boundary Commission before the 2010 general election from parts of predecessors Brent East, South and North – the first two of which no longer exist.

Sarah Teather was the constituency's first MP until 2015, when she stood down; she had previously represented the old Brent East constituency since a 2003 by-election. Dawn Butler, previously Labour MP for Brent South lost to Teather in 2010 and gained the seat in 2015 with a majority of over 40% over the Conservative candidate, whilst the Liberal Democrat share of the vote fell by 35.8%, the sharpest fall in the party's vote share in that election.

The Brent Central constituency forms the central portion of the London Borough of Brent. Since the early 1990s the Conservative party have had a small minority of councillors but been without wards in the constituency; a plurality of the voters in each ward have been in favour of the Labour Party and/or the Liberal Democrats. It is mostly in the postal district of NW10, but also partly falls under NW2, NW9 and HA9.
