The Midland Football Combination is an English football league covering parts of the West Midlands. It is comprised of five divisions, a Premier Division, Divisions One, Two and Three, and a Reserve Division (although Divisions Two and Three also include a number of reserve teams). The league is one of two official feeder leagues to the Midland Football Alliance.
Prior to 2006, the Premier Division was defined as step 7 in the National League System, even though it fed into the step 5 Midland Alliance. In 2006 it was re-graded as step 6, making teams in the top two divisions eligible to take part in the FA Vase and teams in the top division eligible to enter the FA Cup. The league does not currently have a title sponsor.

The league was founded in 1927 as the Worcestershire Combination, and changed its name to the Midland Combination in 1968 to reflect the drawing of clubs from a wider area.
