Center Gai (センター街 Sentā-gai) is a narrow street in Udagawachō (宇田川町), Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. It is a popular area for youths as it has a variety of popular brand name stores, fast food outlets and nightclubs.{{Cite web |title=Center-gai Shopping Street, Tokyo |url=https://www.gpsmycity.com/attractions/center-gai-shopping-street-10161.html |website=Gpsmycity.com}} Its name is meant to signify how it is the "center" of Shibuya. It can be reached from Shibuya Station.

Center Gai originated as a road built over culverts spanning the Udagawa River.

On June 20, 1997, as a result of strong winds from typhoon No.7 Opal (08W, Kuring) that had descended on the Kantō region, a 4-ton archway at the entrance to Center Gai collapsed, killing one man outright, and injuring several others.{{citation needed|date=February 2025}}
