Central City ({{Korean|hangul=센트럴시티}}) is a complex of buildings in Seoul, South Korea.

Central City, originally called Seoul General Terminal ({{Korean|hangul=서울종합터미날|labels=no}}), was planned as a new intercity bus terminal in mid-1970s. The original plan was changed to accommodate Honam and Yeongdong line express bus lines due to neighbouring being Seoul Express Bus Terminal overcrowded. {{ill|Yul San Group|ko|율산그룹}} bought the terminal site from Seoul City government in 1977. Actual construction started in December 1994. Central City opened in 1 September 1999. In 2012, Shinsegae Group bought a 60.02% share of Central City.

Central City consists of three commercial areas: bus terminal, department store, and shopping mall. Among these buildings are the JW Marriott Hotel Seoul, Central City Terminal, Megabox movie theater, Shinsegae and Bandinlunis bookstore.
