Dorset & Wilts 1 North is an English rugby union league, forming part of the South West Division, for clubs primarily based in Wiltshire, sitting at tier 8 of the English rugby union system. Originally consisting of one league, Dorset & Wilts 1 split into north and south regional divisions in 2004. It had even had teams based in Berkshire participating until 2001, at which time they left to join the Buckinghamshire & Oxon leagues.

Promoted teams tend to move up into Southern Counties South while relegated teams tend to drop down into Dorset & Wilts 2 North. Only 1st XV sides can be promoted into Southern Counties South, while any side can fall to Dorset & Wilts 2 North. Each year all 1st XV sides in the division also take part in the RFU Senior Vase - a level 8 national competition - provided they are members of the Dorset & Wilts RFU.
