The Leinster Junior Football Championship is a junior "knockout" competition in the game of Gaelic football played in the province of Leinster in Ireland. The series of games are organised by the Leinster Council. The competition began in 1906, with Wicklow winning during the inaugural year. The most successful county to date is Dublin who have won on nineteen occasions. The current Leinster junior football champions are Wexford.

The winners of the Leinster Junior Football Championship each year progress to play the other provincial champions for a chance to win the All-Ireland Junior Football Championship.
