The Mason-Dixon Roller Vixens (MDRV) is a roller derby league based in Hagerstown, Maryland. Founded in 2007, the league consists of a single team which competes against teams from other leagues.

The league was established in June 2007, and initially practiced in Greencastle, Pennsylvania.[1] Initially, the league had only eight skaters, but this increased to twenty by mid-2009.[2] Several skaters from the league were founder members of Key City Roller Derby.[3]

Mason-Dixon was accepted into the Women's Flat Track Derby Association Apprentice Program in April 2010,[4] and became a full member of the WFTDA in March 2012.[5]
