The Arthurian League is an English association football league for clubs comprising old boys of public schools. It is affiliated to the Amateur Football Alliance and is not part of the English football league system. It takes its name - via the Arthur Dunn Cup in which all founder members competed - from Old Etonian and England international Arthur Dunn.
