Damansara Town Centre is a main town centre in the Segambut ward of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The town centre was built between 1981 and 1984 and were made up of a collection of office buildings. The buildings were undergoing demolition as of January 2016 to make way for new development.

Offices in the original buildings of Damansara Town Centre were occupied by government ministries, departments and other private corporations such as Damansara Realty Berhad, Indah Water Konsortium, HELP University College and Johor Corporation (J-Corp). Department of Immigration Malaysia and Ministry of Housing, and Local Governments Malaysia used to have their offices here and have since moved to Putrajaya. Restaurants, convenience stores, supermarkets were located on the ground floor.

During the upgrading of Jalan Damansara into E23 Sprint Expressway's Damansara Link in 2000, the town centre became as the "island" of separate carriageway. In 2011 the Damansara Twins opened, the first of many high rise buildings to come. In 2014 it was announced that Pusat Bandar Damansara will be demolished and redeveloped as office buildings, apartments, a hotel and 'Pavilion 2', the sister of the Pavilion Mall in Kuala Lumpur.[1] A future Pusat Bandar Damansara MRT station will be located here. When completed, the station will become an interchange between MRT Sungai Buloh-Kajang Line and MRT Circle Line.
