De Western Football League ook wel bekend onder de sponsornaam Toolstation Football League is een Engelse voetbalcompetitie. Er zijn 2 divisies (Premier Division en First Division). De Premier Division bevindt zich op het 9de niveau in de Engelse voetbalpyramide.
De kampioen kan een aanvraag indienen om te promvoren naar het 8ste niveau, wat bijna altijd de Southern League is. Clubs kunnen gerecruteerd worden uit 5 lagere reeksen (Somerset Senior League, South Western League, Wiltshire League, Devon County League en de Gloucestershire County League).
De league werd in 1892 opgericht als de Bristol & District League en veranderde in 1895 de naam in Western League (heden bestaat er ook een Bristol & District League, maar deze bevindt zich nog enkele niveaus lager).
