The Norfolk & Suffolk League was a football league covering the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk in England.
The league was established in 1897, starting with six clubs, Beccles Caxton, Great Yarmouth Town, Kirkley, Lowestoft Town, Lynn Town and Norwich CEYMS. Lowestoft won the inaugural league title and went on to win six of the first seven championships. By the early 1900s it had attracted the two biggest clubs in the region, Ipswich Town and Norwich City. The league gradually expanded, reaching 14 clubs in the 1920s and after a slight contraction, losing many of its better clubs to the newly established Eastern Counties League, it had sixteen members by the late 1930s. During the late 1950s it had 18 members. However, it had lost most of the Suffolk-based clubs and in 1964 the league merged with the East Anglian League to form the Anglian Combination.
