The Central Murray Football Netball League (CMFNL) is a major country Australian rules football and netball competition based in northern Victoria and southwest New South Wales in Australia.

The league was formed as the Mid-Murray Football League in 1946 as local football resumed after World War II. Nyah won the inaugural premiership, defeating Woorinen in a three-team competition that also included Lake Boga. The MMFL more than doubled in size the following season as more clubs re-formed following the war.^[1]

In 1997 the Northern & Echuca Football League folded when its remaining clubs merged to form three new clubs and joined the MMFL. To reflect the larger geographical area the league now covered, the MMFL was re-named the Central Murray Football League. Leitchville-Gunbower joined the league in 2002 from the North Central Football League, while Tooleybuc merged with former Mallee Football League club Manangatang in 2004.

Leitchville-Gunbower moved to the Heathcote District Football League in 2010.

Hay, Moulamein, Murrabit, Ultima and Wandella will join the league from the Golden Rivers Football League for the 2026 season.
