The South London Football Alliance was a football competition based in South London, England. It was founded in 1920 and had in its last season 2016/17 a total of 2 divisions with 23 teams. The league was not part of the English football league system as it was not a feeder league within the football pyramid. However it generally fed the Kent County League's bottom divisions, Division Three East and Division Three West.

In 2017 it merged with the Bromley and District Football League to form the Bromley and South London League.

The league was affiliated to the London Football Association and Kent County Football Association.
