The West Indian Centre, located in Leeds, United Kingdom, is a culturally significant venue with a rich heritage rooted in the city's vibrant Caribbean community. Established in the early 1980s, it served initially as a social hub for West Indian immigrants and their families, providing a space to gather, celebrate cultural traditions, and offer mutual support. Over time, as the surrounding Chapeltown area became known for its diversity and cultural dynamism, the West Indian Centre naturally evolved into one of Leeds' most iconic nightlife and community venues.

It is known for its open-door ethos, catering to a wide spectrum of events from dancehall nights and reggae concerts to world music festivals, community meetings, and charitable initiatives. The Centre's reputation as a site of inclusivity and musical diversity has fostered a loyal following, both locally and across the UK. The venue’s physical structure has retained its distinctive community centre atmosphere, with only minor refurbishments to improve sound systems and accommodate larger audiences, but it has not changed location since its founding.

Over the decades, it has become especially associated with the city’s Carnival celebrations, late-night parties, and a platform for both emerging and established artists, serving as a linchpin in Leeds’ cultural and nightlife scenes. Notable artists who have performed at the West Indian Centre include international icons such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, David Rodigan, Shy FX, and Aba Shanti-I, alongside celebrated local talents like Iration Steppas, LSK, and Jila & Friends. The venue has also hosted sets by artists such as Channel One Sound System, Mungo’s Hi Fi, and General Levy, further cementing its status as a vital destination for reggae, jungle, dub, soca, and world music enthusiasts.
