Ndejje University Football Club, also NDU Lions, were a Ugandan University football club from Ndejje, in Luwero District. They have mostly played in the second division of Ugandan football but appeared in the top flight for the 2018–19 season.
The club was affiliated with Ndejje University, the second Ugandan team in the Uganda Premier League to be affiliated with an educational institution after Kirinya–Jinja Senior Secondary School FC now Busoga United, which is affiliated with Jinja Senior Secondary School.
History Ndejje were one of the founding clubs of the FUFA Big League in 2009.

However at the half season of BetPawa FUFA Big League, Ndejje University administration decided to disband the club citing a number of reasons including low revenue generation and poor performances. All the players that were registered in the club's system were then relieved by FUFA and considered free agents.
