The Dhaka Second Division Football League (Bengali: ঢাকা দ্বিতীয় বিভাগ ফুটবল লীগ) is the fourth-tier football league in Bangladesh and the second-highest league division in Dhaka. It was officially founded in 1948 as the league below the First Division Football League when Bangladesh was under Pakistani rule.
Until 1992, it served as the second-tier of Bangladeshi football before being replaced by the now-defunct Dhaka First Division Football League (1993–2006 second-tier version). In 2012, the league was further demoted to become the country's fourth-tier.
The two top-finishing teams are automatically promoted to the Dhaka Senior Division League. The bottom two teams are automatically relegated to the Dhaka Third Division League.
The league is the second-highest division of semi-professional football in the country and is run by the Dhaka Metropolitan Football Committee under the supervision of the Bangladesh Football Federation (BFF).
