E-Ville Roller Derby is a roller derby league based in Edmonton, Alberta in Canada. Founded in 2005, the league currently consists of three house teams and two travel teams which compete against teams from other leagues.

By January 2010, the league had more than fifty skaters, and claimed to be the largest roller derby league in northern Alberta. E-Ville launched the first junior roller derby league in Canada.[1][2]

League skater Hell'on Keller was selected to play for Team Canada at the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup.[3][4]

During 2014, E-Ville Roller Derby moved to Edmonton Sportsdome due the demolition of Mayfield Trade Center.
