Vancouver Centre was a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. It was created before the general election of 1933. It and the other new Vancouver ridings that came into existence that year – Vancouver-Burrard, Vancouver-Point Grey and Vancouver East – were created from the old Vancouver City riding, which was a six-member seat. Vancouver Centre was a two-member seat throughout its existence. A redistribution before the 1991 election dramatically changed Vancouver's long-standing electoral map by the abandonment of the century-old tradition of multiple member districts. Vancouver Centre was abolished. The riding was redistributed into Vancouver-Burrard and Vancouver-Mount Pleasant with a small part going to Vancouver-Kingsway. For a full listing of Vancouver ridings (historical and current), see Vancouver (electoral districts).
