The Dutch football champions are the winners of the highest league in Dutch football, which since 1956 is the Eredivisie.

The championship title exists since the 1888-89 season. The first years unofficially, but after the founding of the Royal Dutch Football Association (Dutch: Koninklijke Nederlandse Voetbalbond, or KNVB) in 1898, the championship was officially awarded. Until 1954, Dutch football was an amateur competition. The national champion was determined by means of a championship competition between the champions of the different head classes, which were divided regionally until 1950. This system continued for two years after the introduction of professional football in 1954 until the creation of the Eredivisie for the 1956–57 season. Starting with the 1956–57 season, the winner of the Eredivisie is recognized as the national champion.
