In this paper we establish some new congruences involving central binomial coefficients as well as Catalan numbers. Let p be a prime and let a be any positive integer. We determine [Formula: see text] for d = 0, …, pa and [Formula: see text] for δ = 0, 1. We also show that [Formula: see text] for every n = 0, 1, 2, …, where Cm is the Catalan number [Formula: see text], and [Formula: see text] is the Legendre symbol.
