The 2019–20 Highland Football League (known as the Breedon Highland League for sponsorship reasons) is the 117th season of the Highland Football League, and the 6th season as the fifth tier of the Scottish football pyramid system. The season began on 27 July 2019 and is scheduled to end on 18 April 2020. Cove Rangers are the defending champions, but cannot defend their title after being promoted to Scottish League Two.

On 13 March 2020, the league was indefinitely suspended due to the 2019–20 coronavirus outbreak and later curtailed. On 21 March, Brora Rangers were awarded the title following a vote of the league's member clubs.
