}}Clydebank Central is one of the six wards used to elect members of the West Dunbartonshire Council. It elects four Councillors.
The ward covers northern parts of the town of Clydebank, although despite its name it only includes part of the town centre, namely the areas north of the Forth and Clyde Canal at the Clyde Shopping Centre, Clyde Retail Park and Clydebank Business Centre, while south of the canal is within the Clydebank Waterfront ward. West of Boquhanran Road tunnel, the boundary between the wards changes from the canal to the Argyle Line / North Clyde Line railway tracks. Residential neighbourhoods in the ward include Drumry, Kilbowie, Linnvale, North Mountblow, Parkhall and Radnor Park{{cite web |url=http://www.lgbc-scotland.gov.uk/5th-reviews-ward-maps |title=5th Reviews - ward maps | Scottish Boundary Commission |publisher=Lgbc-scotland.gov.uk |date= |accessdate=2020-03-31 |archive-date=20 March 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200320103543/http://www.lgbc-scotland.gov.uk/5th-reviews-ward-maps |url-status=dead }}
