Justice League, formed in 1983 and disbanded in 1988, were a Southern California-based straight edge hardcore punk group.

Historically, Justice Leauge was the third straight edge band formed on the West Coast of the United States, with the first being America's Hardcore (AHC) and the second being Stalag 13. Justice League was heavily influenced by both bands.

After the group's break-up, guitarist/bassist Ryan Hoffman and drummer Chris Bratton went on to form Chain of Strength, who's band name originates from a Justice League song title, of the same name.
