"The Centre of the Heart" is a song by Swedish duo Roxette's 2001 album Room Service. The single was only released commercially in Europe, except in the UK. It was the group's third number 1 in Sweden where it remained on the top spot for 4 weeks. However, its success was limited elsewhere, not managing to reach higher than the top 30 or top 40 in most European countries.

On 23 February 2001, Roxette performed "The Centre of the Heart" at the break during the Swedish Melodifestivalen 2001.
A remix CD was released to promote the single.
The Stonebridge Clubmix of this song was featured in the Japanese version of DDRMAX Dance Dance Revolution 6thMix for the PlayStation 2 as well as its arcade version.
