The Golden Rivers Football Netball League (GRFNL) is an Australian rules football and netball organisation with clubs in north-central Victoria and the western Riverina district of New South Wales.

The league, formed in 1919, was known as the Kerang and District Football Association until 1944. In 1946, the league was re-established as the Kerang and District Football League. In 1998, the league changed its name to the Golden Rivers Football League at the direction of the Victorian Country Football League to better reflect its expansion beyond the immediate Kerang area.
