Midrand is an area in central Gauteng Province, South Africa, between Centurion and Sandton. It was established as a municipality in 1981, but was incorporated the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality during the late 1990s. It was made part of Region 2 and, as of 2006, when the number of regions where reduced to seven, it forms part of Region A.
