The United Kingdom Roller Derby Association (UKRDA) is the National Association for roller derby in the UK.[1] The association was formed in 2010[2] with 15 member leagues, and was recognized by the British Roller Sports Federation soon after.

The UKRDA requires all members to play by Women's Flat Track Derby Association (WFTDA) rules, and several of its members are also WFTDA members. Unlike the WFTDA, it will admit men's and mixed leagues.[3]
