The Royal Netherlands Football Association (Dutch: Koninklijke Nederlandse Voetbal Bond, or KNVB) is the governing body of football in the Netherlands. It organises the main Dutch football leagues (Eredivisie and Eerste Divisie), the amateur leagues, the KNVB Cup, and the Dutch national football team. It is based in the municipality of Zeist.

The KNVB came into being on 8 December 1899 and was one of the founding members of FIFA in 1904. The Netherlands Football League Championship had already existed for a decade unofficially when the association was founded.
