The Caledonian Amateur Football League is a football (soccer) league competition for amateur clubs in Scotland. It was formed in 1983 by inviting what were deemed to be top amateur clubs from across central Scotland with good facilities with high standards being set for admittance to the league Since its formation, the teams competing within the league have been of a good standard, with clubs from the league winning the Scottish Amateur Cup on nine occasions, also providing four losing finalists.
Member clubs are concentrated in the Central Belt of Scotland, although there are two clubs from Argyll and Bute, and a number of clubs from Stirlingshire.
Like several other amateur leagues, it is a stand-alone association and is not currently part of Scotland's pyramid system.
