The Chinese Football Association Jia League (Simplified Chinese: 中国足球协会甲级联赛) is the second tier league of the People's Republic of China. The league is under the auspices of the Chinese Football Association. Above the Jia League is the premier league - the Chinese Super League or CSL.

Prior to the formation of CSL , Jia League was known as "Jia B League". The then top two levels of Chinese football league were known as "Jia A League" and "Jia B League" respectively. "Jia A" was rebranded as CSL and "Jia B" was rebranded as the current Jia League in 2004. Below the Jia League is the Yi League, following the Chinese Heavenly Stems naming convention of numbers.

Unlike the CSL, the Jia League does not seem to have any standard common name or abbreviation in English, however, it is commonly and simply called the "China League". It is currently made up of twelve teams, playing home and away. At the end of each season, the top two will be promoted to CSL and the two lowest placed teams from CSL will be relegated to the Jia League.
