You can use Line height a big as height of the div  But for me best solution is this --  position relative  top 50   transform translate 0 50

You can use line-height  50px   you won t need vertical-align  middle  there   Demo    The above will fail if you ve multiple lines  so in that case you can wrap your text using span and than use display  table-cell  and display  table  along with vertical-align  middle   also don t forget to use width  100   for  abc  Demo   abc    font Verdana  Geneva  sans-serif    font-size 18px    text-align left    background-color  0F0    height 50px    display  table    width  100       abc span     vertical-align middle    display  table-cell        Another solution I can think of here is to use transform property with translateY   where Y obviously stands for Y Axis  It s pretty straight forward    All you need to do is set the elements position to absolute and later position 50  from the top and translate from it s axis with negative -50   div     height  100px    width  100px    background-color  tomato    position  relative     p     position  absolute    top  50     transform  translateY -50        Demo  Note that this won t be supported on older browsers  for example IE8  but you can make IE9 and other older browser versions of Chrome and Firefox by using -ms  -moz and -webkit prefixes respectively   For more information on transform  you can refer here
