The Delta Ethniki Katigoria (Greek: Δ΄ Εθνική Κατηγορία, lit. 'Fourth National Division') was the fourth-tier men's association football league in Greece. During the period of its existence, it was the lowest national division of the Greek championship. It was founded in the 1982–83 season and abolished in the 2012–13 season, as it was merged with the third division (Football League 2).[1][2] Its history therefore spans 31 years.[3]

Many historical clubs of first division (Super League) have played in Delta Ethniki, such as Iraklis Thessaloniki (2011–12 season), Ethnikos Piraeus, Apollon Smyrni and Atromitos Athens. The clubs of Delta Ethniki were divided in groups on the basis of geographical criteria. The groups usually comprised 10 teams, though this number varied between 4 and 12 over the years.[4]
