Greater Manchester Central was, from 1984 to 1999, a European Parliament constituency centered on Greater Manchester, in North West England.
Prior to its uniform adoption of proportional representation in 1999, the United Kingdom used first-past-the-post for the European elections in England, Scotland and Wales. The European Parliament constituencies used under that system were smaller than the later regional constituencies and had only one Member of the European Parliament each.
1984–1994: Altrincham and Sale, Davyhulme, Manchester Blackley, Manchester Central, Manchester Gorton, Manchester Withington, Manchester Wythenshawe, Stretford.
1994–1999: Cheadle, Hazel Grove, Manchester Blackley, Manchester Central, Manchester Gorton, Manchester Withington, Stockport, Stretford.
