Centaur (Centaurus, afkorting Cen) is een sterrenbeeld gelegen aan de zuidelijke hemelkoepel tussen rechte klimming 11u03m en 14u59m en declinatie -30° en -65°. Vanaf de breedte van de Benelux is alleen het noordelijk deel te zien, en dan nog slecht omdat het maar net boven de zuidelijke horizon uitkomt.
