Sphagnum centrale is a species of moss belonging to the family Sphagnaceae.[1]

It has cosmopolitan distribution.[2] It is often found in cedar swamps and similar environs. It has a pale green color common to all the Sphagnum subgenus mosses but, unlike other common members of the subgenus like Sphagnum magellanicum, it will never be red and rarely brown.[3]
