Liga Nacional de Fútbol Americano (LNFA) is the name of the top American football league which operates in Spain. It was founded in 1995 after the merge of several previous Spanish competitions.

The league is run by the Spanish Association of American Football, Agrupación Española de Futbol Americano (AEFA) in Spanish language.

At the end of the season, league's champion and runner up clinch bids to compete at next year's European Football League, while third and fourth teams classify for the EFAF Cup.

There has been changes in the number of teams throughout the years. For the 2010 season, the number has increased to 15 from the previous 10 of the 2009 season, and the league has split into three conferences, having last season's top teams in the Spanish Conference, while the other five and the newcomers will compete in the National Conference and the Hispanic Conference.
