The Latvian Rugby Federation (Latvian: Latvijas Regbija federācija) is the governing body for rugby in Latvia. It oversees the various national teams and the development of the sport.

Rugby's history in Latvia starts in the early 20th century with clearer origins dating to the 1960s.[1] The federation was founded in 1991 as a member of World Rugby, following Latvia's freedom after suffering under Soviet occupation.[1] The federation was admitted to FIRA in 1992.
