Centurion is the name given to a single Eucalyptus regnans tree growing in Southern Tasmania, Australia, and the world's tallest known Eucalyptus.The tree was first measured by climber-deployed tapeline at 99.6 metres (327 ft) tall in 2008, and was subsequently re-measured to be 100.5 metres (330 ft) tall by ground laser in 2018.

The broader region contains a mosaic of wet and dry sclerophyll forest types, as well as rainforest in undisturbed areas. Notable plant species include Eucalyptus Regnans and Eucalyptus Obliqua which may be seen as tall, dominant canopy trees.
The eastern Ranges were originally covered by a mosaic of wet forest, dominated by 90-metre-tall mountain ash (Eucalyptus regnans) and cool temperate rainforest of myrtle beech and tree ferns. Drier mixed forest of messmate ( Eucalyptus obliqua ), peppermint ( E. radiata ) and mountain grey gum ( E. cypellocarpa ) were more common in the ...
