Are centaurs insects? is a question which asks if the mythological centaur is, due to its six limbs, a member of the taxonomic class Insecta.

The answer is no.

Centaurs do not have exoskeletons and are therefore not members of Euarthropoda, the phylum which includes insects, arachnids, myriapods, and crustaceans.
