The South West Peninsula League (SWPL) is a football competition in England, which was formed in 2007 from the merger of the Devon County League and the South Western League. The league is restricted to clubs based in Cornwall and Devon.

The league consists of a Premier Division of up to 20 clubs, which is ranked at Step 6 in the National League System, and two divisions at Step 7 being Division One West and Division One East. One club from each of the Division One leagues can be promoted and the bottom two clubs in the Premier Division can be relegated. One club from the Premier Division can be promoted to the Western League Premier Division each season, with Buckland Athletic promoted after applying and finishing runner-up in 2012.

The bottom two clubs from each Division One division can be relegated each season to the nearest feeder league. The feeder leagues for Division One West are the Cornwall Combination, East Cornwall and Plymouth & West Devon Combination. Feeders for Division One East are the South Devon, the Devon & Exeter and North Devon leagues.

The league's principal sponsor is Carlsberg. The League Cup competition is sponsored by Walter C Parson Funeral Directors and is called The Walter C Parson Cup.

The constitutions of the three divisions for 2016–17 are:
