      The Kent County League, currently known as the haart of Kent County League for sponsorship reasons, is a football competition based in Kent, England. The league has seven senior divisions – a Premier Division, Division One East and West, Division Two East and West and Division Three East and West. It sits below the Kent Invicta Football League (step 6 of the National League System) after the Invicta league's formation in 2011.

      In the 2013–14 season, there are 15 clubs in the Premier Division. The bottom two clubs face relegation to the regional lower divisions. Clubs from a number of smaller district leagues may be eligible to gain promotion to the County League. These feeder leagues are the Bromley & District League, the Canterbury & District League, the Maidstone & District League, the Rochester & District League and the South London Alliance.[1]
