The Herefordshire Football League (currently sponsored by Imperial & Marshall Properties Ltd) is an English football league based in the county of Herefordshire. The league currently has four divisions – the Premier Division, Division One, Division Two and Division Three. The league is affiliated to the Herefordshire County FA.

Whilst the Herefordshire League is not officially part of the National League System, clubs who win this league can apply to enter to the lower divisions of the West Midlands (Regional) League, Midland Combination or the Hellenic League. This effectively (though unofficially) puts the top division of the league at level 13 of the English football league system.

The league has occasionally had clubs from Wales as members – most recently in 2010, Hay St. Mary's entered their third team into the league in the Premier Division. The President of the League, Ron Marshall, is a former Football League Referee.
