Central Saanich is a district municipality in Greater Victoria and a member municipality of the Capital Regional District. It is located on the Saanich Peninsula. The district began as a farming community, and many hobby farms, along with a handful of small working farms and vineyards, still exist. In recent decades, the area has seen increasing residential, commercial, and industrial development, especially around the neighbourhoods of Brentwood Bay and Saanichton, which are occasionally referred to as separate communities.
The area's best-known tourist attractions are the Butchart Gardens, located in the Brentwood Bay area and Island View Beach.
The Mayor of Central Saanich is Jack Mar. Other municipal councillors include Alastair Bryson, John Garrison, Chris Graham, Zeb King, Susan Mason, and Robert Thompson.
