The Peterborough & District Football League is a football competition in England. It has a total of six divisions, the highest of which, the Premier Division, sits at step 7 of the National League System (level 11 of the English football league system). It is a feeder to the United Counties League Division One.

For the 2023–24 season there are 138 teams competing in the league, which, under the terms of a sponsorship agreement, is known as the GCE HIRE FLEET Peterborough & District Football League.

In 2005–06 the PDFL introduced 'combination leagues' for Reserve and 'A' teams. These divisions were scrapped after the 2010-11 season and the league went back to six ordinary divisions named Premier Division, Division One, Division Two, Division Three, Division Four and Division Five. The league also introduced a Veterans Section in 2012 and a Walking football division in 2020.
