The British League Division Two Riders Championship was a speedway contest between the top riders (or two riders) with the highest average points total from each club competing in the British League Division Two in the UK. The championship was inaugurated in 1968 when it was known as the British League Division Two Riders Championship. The competition was held at Hackney between 1968 and 1971, then it was moved to Wimbledon and held there between 1972 and 1984. The event was sponsored by Gauloises in 1976.

The competition was known as the British League Division Two Riders Championship between 1968 and 1974. In 1975 and 1976 it was known as the New National League Riders Championship and then from 1977 to 1991 as the National League Riders championship.

The last year of the tournament was 1994, after which speedway was restructured with the top two leagues combining to form the Premier League.
