Beauce-Centre is a regional county municipality in the Chaudière-Appalaches region of southeastern Quebec, Canada. It is located on the Chaudière River, between La Nouvelle-Beauce Regional County Municipality and Beauce-Sartigan Regional County Municipality.

Established in 1982 as the successor to Beauce County under the name Robert-Cliche, Beauce-Centre is made up of ten municipalities and is mainly French-speaking. The territory is a mix of urban and rural. Beauceville, the county seat, is the most populated municipality.

It was originally named after Quebecois politician, writer, lawyer, and judge Robert Cliche. He was born in Saint-Joseph-de-Beauce, one of Beauce-Centre's municipalities. The regional county municipality's name was officially changed on 30 July 2022.[1]
