The Perry Street and District League, commonly known as the Perry Street League, is an association football league in South West England, with clubs primarily based in south Somerset, west Dorset and east Devon. The league currently consists of three divisions, headed by the Premier Division.

The league was founded in 1903 by Charles Edward Small, owner of the Perry Street Lace Works. It originally consisted of five clubs: Perry Street Works, Combe Wanderers, Holyrood Mills, Axminster Town and Horton Rovers. Small is commemorated by the three spools of lace depicted on the league's crest, which also incorporates symbols representing the three counties traditionally served by the competition: the wyvern for Somerset, three castles for Dorset and a sailing ship for Devon.

The Perry Street and District League is affiliated with the Somerset County Football Association. It acts as a feeder league to the Somerset County League, with clubs able to progress into the county league structure.

The league was reduced from five divisions to four following the 2014–15 season. Following the league's annual general meeting at the end of the 2022–23 season, its structure was further reduced from four divisions to three for the 2023–24 season.
