The Penn Intercollegiate Association Football League was a pre-NCAA collegiate soccer conference for colleges across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that were not admitted at the time to the Intercollegiate Soccer Football League (ISFL), the top tier of college soccer in the United States prior to the NCAA sanctioning the sport.

The league began play in 1915 and disbanded in 1925 as it was absorbed by the ISFL.
