Taupō Central is the central suburb and business district of Taupō in the Waikato region of New Zealand's North Island.

An eight-storey hotel was proposed in the CBD in 2018. It would have been Taupō's tallest building. As the Council had a three-storey limit at that time, consent required a decision by the Environment Court, which allowed a six-storey building in June 2020. The hotel was still unbuilt as of May 2022.

Taupō Museum is located in Taupō Central. It opened in the 1970s.
