The Port Talbot & District Football League, also known as the M.P.N. Port Talbot Football League for sponsorship reasons, is a league competition featuring non-professional association football clubs in the area of Port Talbot, South Wales. Founded in 1926, it is one of the oldest such competition in Wales. The main competition consists of a single division. There is also a Reserves Division. The Premier Division is a feeder to the South Wales Senior League Division Two, and therefore sits at level 7 of the Welsh football pyramid.
