Townsville City is the name of the central suburb of the city of Townsville, Queensland, Australia. It is the city's Central Business District. Townsville CBD is in close proximity to The Strand and Castle Hill. In the 2011 census, Townsville City had a population of 2,500 people.

Townsville City is a strip of land along the northern-eastern bank Ross Creek at its mouth at the Coral Sea, thus the suburb is bounded to the north by the Coral Sea and to the south-east by Ross Creek. It is overlooked to the west by Castle Hill. The land is mostly low-lying, just about sea level, apart from Melton Hill (19°15′21″S 146°49′08″E / 19.2559°S 146.8189°E / -19.2559; 146.8189 (Melton Hill)) which creates a natural boundary to North Ward to the north-west.

Townsville City is home to many regional offices of various government organisations as well as many private companies, serving as a hub for northern Queensland. There has been extensive construction in the city centre over the last 20 years. These include a major redevelopment on Flinders Street Mall by Jarrod McCracken's construction company and the construction of the North Queensland Cowboys Leagues Club.
