The West Yorkshire Association Football League is a football competition based in Yorkshire, England. It was previously known as the Leeds League until the name change in 1939. Although it is named the West Yorkshire League, clubs from the Harrogate and York areas of North Yorkshire also play in the competition.

Currently the league has three senior team divisions, and two for reserves. Officially part of the National League System, the Premier Division is a step 7 (or level 11) league in the pyramid. Clubs are able to be promoted to the Northern Counties East Football League or the North West Counties Football League Horbury Town in 2022 were accepted by the Northern Counties East League and Ilkley Town and Shelley were accepted by the North West Counties League in 2018, 2021 and 2023.

Some other teams who once played in the West Yorkshire League but now play their football at higher levels of the pyramid include Emley, Garforth Town Glasshoughton Welfare, Guiseley Harrogate Town, Harrogate Railway Athletic, Knaresborough Town, Nostell Miners Welfare, Ossett Town and Ossett Albion merged to form Ossett United, Pontefract Collieries and Thackley.
