  The H.E.S.S. experiment, an array of four Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov
Telescopes, observes the Galactic Centre (GC) region in the very high-energy
(VHE, E > 100 GeV) domain since 2003. The GC is believed to be the region with
the highest Dark Matter (DM) density in our Galaxy, thus making it one of the
primary targets for VHE gamma-ray observations, looking for signals from
annihilation or decay of DM particles. The interpretation of the collected
H.E.S.S. data with regard to possible DM signals is however complicated by the
presence of several astrophysical sources of VHE gamma-ray radiation in this
region. The current status of the search for DM signals from the GC region is
reviewed.
