The Mashemeji derby (English: Derby of the In-laws), also known as the Ingo-Dala derby, is the name of the local derby between two major association football teams in Kenya: A.F.C. Leopards and Gor Mahia. Both teams are currently based in the capital Nairobi, but originate from the Western region. It is the oldest rivalry in Kenyan football history.

Fans of both A.F.C. Leopards and Gor Mahia (often referred to by their nicknames, Ingwe and K'Ogalo, respectively) recognize each other as arch-rivals. As of 2023, Gor Mahia has won the Kenyan Premier League a record 20 times, while A.F.C. Leopards have 12 league titles to their name.
