The memoir document class provides, among a lot of other excellent things, the vplace environment.
Try:
\documentclass{memoir}
\begin{document}
\begin{vplace}[0.7]
This is some text to be centered vertically.
\end{vplace}
\end{document}
[0.7] is an optional parameter specifying the ratio of space above to space below. The default value is [1].

3I haven't tried your code above. But I am not sure your code will produce an exact vertically-centered object since I notice your code does not specify
\topskip0ptright before\begin{vplace}[1]. For more details, see tex.stackexchange.com/questions/7286/… Dec 23, 2010 at 2:30 -

2@Nikos That's because it isn't a package but a documentclass type. So instead of
\documentclass{article}you can usedocumentclass{memoir}. Jun 2, 2019 at 3:17
This is what I found:
\begin{document}
\topskip0pt
\vspace*{\fill}
text
\vspace*{\fill}
%
\end{document}

5Very useful for stuff that does not take the placement modifiers, like equations. thanks– rllJan 8, 2016 at 11:17

9With this suggestion, I get a perfect vertically center text on a page, but I get several blank pages in other areas of the document. Jan 21, 2016 at 11:12

4How do you solve the problem with extra blank pages like @Jh0an1Uzca73gu1 mentioned? Jan 21, 2016 at 15:24

2I use the following code, suggestion of other tex.stackexchange.com thread: \clearpage \vspace*{\fill} \begin{center} \begin{minipage}{\textwidth} \centering{This is some text to be centred vertically.} \end{minipage} \end{center} \vfill % equivalent to \vspace{\fill} \clearpage Jan 22, 2016 at 11:39

This did the job for me:
\pagebreak
\hspace{0pt}
\vfill
Centered text.
\vfill
\hspace{0pt}
\pagebreak

I really don’t know/remember either, but as Mars said it’s required. @CiprianTomoiagă Nov 22, 2018 at 8:51

\hspace{0pt}is required because vertical space is removed on the start of a document (e.g. pagebreak). May 23, 2019 at 12:00 -
2Of all solutions proposed here, this is the one that worked for me. Dec 5, 2020 at 10:45
In ConTeXt MkIV you use standardmakeup. For horizontal centering add the additional key align=middle as in the example below.
\starttext
\startstandardmakeup[align=middle]
Centered text!
\stopstandardmakeup
\stoptext

Very simple way, like described here.
Text at the top of the page.
\vspace{5mm} %5mm vertical space
This text still at the top, 5mm below the first paragraph.
\vspace{25mm} %25mm vertical space
This text is somewhere in the middle.
\vfill
Text at the bottom of the page.

1you should provide an example of document (regardless that op didn't) which show vertical centering of text on page.– ZarkoFeb 22, 2018 at 1:36
