The 1954 National League Division Two was the ninth post-war season of the second tier of motorcycle speedway in Great Britain. With the Southern League becoming defunct after just two seasons after 1953, the 1954 Division Two became a merger of the two leagues from the previous season. Only St Austell Gulls declined to step up to the national level, whilst from the previous season Yarmouth Bloaters were not issued a racing licence and Stoke Potters withdrew. Bristol Bulldogs moved down from Division One to make 15 teams starting the season however Glasgow White City Tigers and Wolverhampton Wasps withdrew before the league campaign started.

Bristol Bulldogs won the title

Plymouth Devils withdrew after 1 league fixture, Edinburgh Monarchs withdrew after 5.
