Working version of kgaidis's Objective C answer using Swift 3.0:

let flow = UICollectionViewFlowLayout()

func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, insetForSectionAt section: Int) -> UIEdgeInsets {        
    let numberOfItems = collectionView.numberOfItems(inSection: 0)
    let combinedItemWidth:CGFloat = (CGFloat(numberOfItems) * flow.itemSize.width) + ((CGFloat(numberOfItems) - 1) * flow.minimumInteritemSpacing)
    let padding = (collectionView.frame.size.width - combinedItemWidth) / 2

    return UIEdgeInsetsMake(0, padding, 0, padding)
}
