The Kent County League, currently known as the haart of Kent County League for sponsorship reasons, is a football competition based in Kent, England. The league has four senior divisions – a Premier Division, Division One Division Two East and West, plus reserve divisions. It sits below the Kent Invicta Football League (step 6 of the National League System) after the Invicta league's formation in 2011.
In the 2012–13 season, there are 16 clubs in the Premier Division. The bottom two clubs face relegation to the regional lower divisions. Clubs from a number of smaller district leagues may be eligible to gain promotion to the County League. In 2008 clubs from the Bromley & District League, Canterbury & District League, Maidstone & District League, Rochester & District League and the South London Alliance joined the County League.

“I could draw Bloom County with my nose and pay my cleaning lady to write it, and I’d bet I wouldn’t lose 10% of my papers over the next twenty years. Such is the nature of comic-strips. Once established, their half-life is usually more than nuclear waste.”
—Berkeley Breathed (b. 1957)
“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward the Light Brigade!”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
