The "LFC Insurance Group" Essex Olympian Football League is a football competition based in England, founded in the 1966-67 season. It has a total of three senior divisions and three reserve divisions. The Essex Olympian Football League Premier Division sits at step 7 (or level 11) of the National League System and it is a feeder to the Essex Senior Football League (which is officially step 5). Between 1986 and 2005, the league was known as the "Essex Intermediate League".
Clubs to progress up the pyramid from the league include Billericay Town, Brentwood Town, Bowers United, Sawbridgeworth Town, Burnham Ramblers, Hullbridge Sports, and Great Wakering Rovers.
In 2008 Takeley moved up the pyramid into the ESL. Prior to then the Olympian League has not sent a club to the Essex Senior League for over a decade, causing the ESL to look elsewhere in Essex for new member clubs, including lower leagues and leagues outside the National League System such as the Essex Business Houses Football League. Clubs from this league have been able to jump straight into the Essex Senior League due to the facilities at which they play not where they finished in the Essex Business House League. Other clubs from the same league often join the lowest level of the Olympian League.
