Reading Central is a constituency[n 1] in the House of Commons of the UK Parliament. Created as a result of the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, it was first contested at the 2024 general election.[2][3][4] Since 2024, it has been represented by Labour's Matt Rodda, who was MP for Reading East from 2017 to 2024.

The seat subsumes parts of the former Reading West and Reading East constituencies but, unlike them, the whole of the new constituency will be within the Borough of Reading.
