Central Catalonia[1] (Catalan: Catalunya Central; IPA: [kə.təˈɫu.ɲə sənˈtɾaɫ]), also known as Comarques Centrals,[2] is one of the nine regions (vegueries) of Catalonia.

It had 412,033 inhabitants in 2022.[2] Located around the upper and middle sections of the Llobregat and Ter rivers, it includes the counties of Bages, Berguedà, Lluçanès, Moianès, Osona and Solsonès. It borders to the north-west with Alt Pirineu, to the west with Ponent, to the south with Penedès, to the south-east with Barcelona and to the north and north-east with Girona.

Its de facto capital is Manresa, the most populous city, as a law has not set one yet.[3]

The Central Catalonia counties of Lluçanès and Osona, as well as Ripollès, which is located in the Girona region, comprise the natural region and proposed separate vegueria of Alt Ter.
