+ A data source that can be used to get the ID of a datacenter.
+---
+
+# vsphere\_datacenter
+
+The `vsphere_datacenter` data source can be used to discover the ID of a
+vSphere datacenter. It can also be used to fetch the "default datacenter" on
+ESXi, however this can be done with [`vsphere_host`][data-source-vsphere-host]
+as well.
+
+[data-source-vsphere-host]: /docs/providers/vsphere/d/host.html
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```hcl
+data "vsphere_datacenter" "datacenter" {
+ name = "dc1"
+}
+```
+
+## Argument Reference
+
+The following arguments are supported:
+
+* `name` - (String) The name of the datacenter. This can be a name or path. If
+ not provided, the default datacenter is used.
+
+~> **NOTE:** `name` is ignored on ESXi, and is not required.
+
+## Attribute Reference
+
+* `id` - The managed object ID of this datacenter.
+* `datacenter_id` - (String) The managed object ID of this datacenter (same as
+ `id`).
