The Corinthians League is an association football competition based around Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. It has two divisions, which in theory sit at level 14 & 15 of the English football league system. It is nominally a feeder to the Northern Football Alliance.

The league was formed in 1999. The original member teams were largely "non-student" teams playing in the University of Newcastle league – previously teams had been allowed to remain in the University league even after all of their players had graduated. Expanding student numbers and the sale of playing fields at Longbenton for development meant that such teams could no longer be accommodated.
