The National Catholic Forensic League (NCFL) is a speech and debate league that was formed in 1951. It is organized into regions which correspond to Roman Catholic dioceses. Member schools include both public and parochial high schools. The NCFL recruits member schools in both the United States and Canada. As of January, 2011, there were 65 active dioceses with NCFL leagues. The IRS recognizes the NCFL as an organization eligible to receive tax-deductible charitable donations.

The NCFL sponsors the Grand National Speech and Debate Tournament held each year over Memorial Day weekend. It offers an array of events similar, but not identical, to those of the National Speech and Debate Association.

The 2014–2016 Officers of the NCFL are as follows: President: Charles Sloat of Iona Preparatory School in New Rochelle, New York; 1st Vice President: Roberta Hyland; 2nd Vice President: Barbara Fontenot; Executive Secretary-Treasurer: Michael Colletti; Publicity Director/Recording Secretary: Susan Peebles of Iroquois Senior High School; Grand Tournament Director: Roland Burdett.
