Centre (Croatian: Centar) is a liberal^[6] political party in Croatia. The party was formed under the name Pametno (English: Intelligently) in Split in 2015 out of the citizens' initiative Za pametne ljude i pametan grad ("For smart people and a smart city").^[7] The fundamental values endorsed by the party are the promotion of democracy, accountable and transparent management of public resources, civil proactive protection of fundamental human rights, economic development and environmental protection.^[8]

Throughout the years, Pametno grew from the local initiative into a national party with representation in the Croatian Parliament. In November 2020, following a merger with Dalija Orešković's Party with a First and Last Name, the party Pametno changed name to the Centre.
