The Southern Combination Football League is an English football league covering East Sussex, West Sussex and south-eastern Surrey.

Formed in 1920 as the Sussex County Football League, the league now has six divisions – three for first teams and three for reserve sides. The first team divisions – One, Two and Three, sit at Levels 9, 10 and 11 of the English football league system, below the regional divisions of the Isthmian League and the Southern League. The reserve divisions are not part of the league system. The league changed its name to the Southern Combination Football League for the start of the 2015–16 season.

The league was formed in 1920 as one division, with an initial 12 clubs with Worthing winning the first league title. By 1939 the league had increased to 14 teams, but the outbreak of World War II forced the abandonment of the competition. The league resumed in 1945, with 17 teams accross two divisions, with Haywards Heath winning the Eastern Division and Worthing winning the Western Division. The following season the league had reformed back to a one division with 14 teams structure.

The league formed the Youth Division for the 1983/84 season, with Crowborough the champions, this was soon followed by an additional division creating the East and West divisions the following season. A fourth youth division was added in 1995/96 creating the North Division.
