St George Central is an electoral ward in Bristol, England, covering parts of the St George neighbourhood in the east of the city. It is represented by two members on Bristol City Council, which as of 2024 are Abi Finch and Cara Lavan of the Green Party of England and Wales.
St George Central ward was created ahead of the 2016 United Kingdom local elections, following a boundary review by the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. It was created from the northern half of the former St George East ward, and a small eastern part of St George West

## Area profile

The ward includes central and eastern parts of St George, centred on the A420 road (Bell Hill Road and Two Mile Hill Road). The north of the ward includes parts of Speedwell neighbourhood. The ward is on the eastern boundary of Bristol unitary authority, adjacent to Kingswood, which is part of the contiguous Bristol Built-up Area but outside of the unitary authority. Eastern parts of the ward are close to Kingswood High Street, and are therefore often considered to be part of an informally-defined Kingswood neighbourhood that straddles official boundaries.
For elections to the Parliament of the United Kingdom, St George Central is in Bristol East constituency.
