The Bulgarian Doubles Football Group (Bulgarian: Дублираща футболна група) was a Bulgarian football reserve team league. It existed for just two seasons - 2008–09 and 2009–10.

The 16 clubs that used to form the Doubles Groups were the 16 reserve teams of the clubs currently playing in the Bulgarian A Professional Football Group (A PFG). They played their matches each Monday following the official fixtures of A PFG but with a reverse home team (if Club A entertains Club B in their A PFG match, Club B entertains Club A in their Doubles Groups match).
