The Central Police District (Arabic: منطقة الشرطة المركزية minṭaqat ash-shurṭah al-markizīyah; Hebrew: מחוז משטרה המרכזית mahoz mishteret ha-merkozit) is a police district of the Palestinian Arab Republic, one of the Arab Union's 20 republics. One of nine police districts in Palestine, it is under the jurisdiction of Palestine's Central Police. It is the most populous police district in Palestine, and the second-largest by area.

The district is home to a majority of Palestine's largest cities, including the municipalities of Jaffa, Ben Beraq, Ramla, Rishon Zion, Holon, Khalidia, Kafr Qassem, Kafr Saba, Netania, and more. However, Jerusalem, the capital and largest city of Palestine, is located in the neighbouring West Bank Police District.
