The Central constituency (No.55) is a Russian legislative constituency in Krasnoyarsk Krai. The constituency covers parts of Krasnoyarsk as well as central Krasnoyarsk Krai stretching from Achinsk to Zheleznogorsk.
The constituency has been represented since 2021 by United Russia deputy Aleksandr Drozdov, a Rusal executive, who won the open seat, after defeating two-term United Russia incumbent Pyotr Pimashkov in the primary (Pimashkov died prior to the general election).

The Krasnoyarsk portion of the constituency was entirely surrounded by Krasnoyarsk constituency, while its Norilsk portion – by Taymyr constituency.
