The Provincial League (1936–1937) was a league competition for speedway teams in the United Kingdom.
The league was formed after Mr B. Southouse (the Cardiff speedway manager for the Greyhound Racing Association) proposed that a new league be formed and organised a syndicate, including Nottingham and Liverpool speedway.
The Provincial League was created as a second tier to the National League in 1936 but was renamed National League Division Two in 1938.
The 'Provincial League' name was re-used for a breakaway league from the National League in 1960.
