The 2005 Ugandan Super League was the 38th season of the official Ugandan football championship, the top-level football league of Uganda.
The 2005 Uganda Super League used a different format with 15 teams divided into 3 groups with 8 qualifying teams then progressing to the knock-out phase. The championship playoff was won by Police FC who defeated SC Villa 3-1 on penalties following a 0-0 draw in the final at Namboole Stadium.
