The Yorkshire Amateur Association Football League is an amateur competitive football league based in West Yorkshire, England. The league has a total of eight divisions, the highest of which is the Yorkshire Amateur League Supreme Division, which sits at level 11 of the English football league system. It is a feeder to the Northern Counties East Football League.

In the 2008–09 season, Gildersome Spurs Old Boys made the record books by winning all four of the competitions they entered, including Senior B, the Terry Marflitt Trophy, the Yorkshire Old Boys Shield, and the Wheatley District Cup.

Yorkshire Amateur Football League

Before the 2019–20 season, the Yorkshire League was admitted to Step 7 of the National League System (NLS) after creating the Supreme Division, which took in seven clubs from the dissolved West Riding County Amateur Football League. The league's top division succeeded its former West Riding County League counterpart at that step, which was abolished ahead of the next season and replaced with the designation Regional NLS Feeder Leagues. The first team to gain promotion was Route One Rovers who, in 2023, were elevated to the North West Counties Football League.
