Mississauga Centre is a provincial electoral district in Ontario, Canada, that was represented in the Legislative Assembly of Ontario from 1999 to 2007, and again from 2018 to present.
This riding was originally created in 1996 from parts of Mississauga East and Mississauga West ridings. Throughout its brief existence, it was represented by Rob Sampson and Harinder Takhar. It consisted of the central part of the City of Mississauga, Ontario. The electoral district was abolished in 2003 when it was redistributed between Mississauga East—Cooksville, Mississauga South, Mississauga—Brampton South and Mississauga—Erindale ridings.
For the 2018 election, it was re-created from Mississauga East—Cooksville, Mississauga—Erindale, Mississauga—Brampton South, and Mississauga—Streetsville.[1]
