The authors first introduce the notion of quasi-hom-Lie algebras, a natural generalization of hom-Lie algebras introduced by \textit{J. T. Hartwig} and the authors [J. Algebra 295, No. 2, 314--361 (2006; Zbl 1138.17012)]. Quasi-hom-Lie algebras include color Lie algebras and superalgebras, and can be seen as deformations of these by maps, twisting the Jacobi identity and skew-symmetry. The goal for introducing the quasi-hom-Lie algebras is to generalize or deform the Witt algebra of derivations on the Laurent polynomials \({\mathbb C}[t,t^{-1}]\). A theory of central extensions for quasi-hom-Lie algebras is developed. The main result of the paper is the description of central extensions of quasi-hom-Lie algebras in terms of equivalence classes of 2-cocycle-like maps.
