The L. League(in Japanese: "L・リーグ", Officially "日本女子サッカーリーグ","Nihon Joshi Sakkā Rīgu", Pet name "なでしこリーグ","Nadeshiko Rīgu") is the top flight of women's football (soccer) in Japan. It is the women's equivalent of the J. League, but not professional. (Some individual players are professional.)

L-League began in 1989. Players from the 8 L-League teams host an annual training camp to build skills and relationships between L-League and international women's football teams, including US and Australian teams.

Since the 2004 season, the L. League has 2 divisions - Division 1, with 8 clubs, and Division 2 with 8 clubs in the 2006 season. The league operates on the same way as the old Japan Soccer League for men, the bottom club in the second division must play off against a regional league playoff winner. For more information on these teams see "List of women's football clubs in Japan".
