Football Federation of the Ukrainian SSR (Ukrainian: Федерація Футболу УРСР) was a regional football federation of the Soviet Union that in 1991 was transformed into the Football Federation of Ukraine.
The Football Federation of the Ukrainian SSR was created in 1959 as part of All-Union reorganization of sport administration in the Soviet Union. The Federation was established in place of the Football section of the Higher Council of Physical Culture that was originally created back in 1923. The Higher Council of Physical Culture was the main body of sports administration in the Republic.

In January 1964 at the plenum of Football Federation of UkrSSR was elected a new president Fedor Martyanovych Martyniuk who was the head of the Zhytomyr Oblast council of the Union of sport associations and organizations. He also instantaneously was included into the presidium of the Football Federation of USSR.
On December 29, 1968 the State Committee of Fitness and Sport was reinstated by the Soviet Council of Ministers. A similar committee was created also by the UkrSSR Council of Ministers called simply Sport Committee of UkrSSR. Since 1969 the Football Federation of USSR was overtaken by the Football Directorate of that Committee, while the Ukrainian Federation by its own Committee. The Chief director of the Sport Committee of UkrSSR was appointed Oleh Oleksandrovych Oshenkov in 1971 (simultaneously being elected as the president of the Republican Federation), a position that supersedes the president of a federation.
In March 1976 were created several commissions of the Federation. The head of the scientific-methodical council was elected V.Kozhukhov.
By the end of 1977 Mykola Fedorovych Fominykh replaced Oleh Oleksandrovych Oshenkov as the Chief director of the Republican Sport Committee. In 1980 a special directorate was created the Directorate of sport structures director of which was appointed B.M.Voskresensky. In 1983 the Football Federation of UkrSSR was recognized as the best in the Soviet Union.
On April 29, 1987 the new plenum of the Federation elected Yuriy Oleksandrovych Pustovarov as its president for his successful work with the Commission of mass-organized activities replacing M.Fominykh who was appointed as his deputy. Remarkable is the fact that at the plenum Viktor Bannykov was elected to the presidium of the Federation. The head of the scientific-methodical council was elected A.Popov.
