epi·cen·tre epicentres in AM, use epicenter The epicentre of an earthquake is the place on the earth's surface directly above the point where it starts, and is the place where it is felt most strongly. The earthquake had its epicentre two-hundred kilometres north-east of the capital. Point on the surface of the Earth that is directly above the source (or focus) of an earthquake.
