The Leinster Senior League Senior Division is the top tier of football in the Leinster Senior League, and is part of the third tier of the Republic of Ireland football league system along with the Munster Senior League Premier Division and Ulster Senior League Senior Division. However, promotion can't be gained from these league to the League of Ireland unless clubs send an application to the FAI.

The league was established in 1896 and the first season of football was played a year later in 1897-98. Army were the first winners of the Senior Division, although the particular regiment of the Army is unknown. Shelbourne have won the most titles (12), their first team winning twice before joining the 1904–05 Irish League and their reserve team winning on 10 more occasions.

Crumlin United are the current champions having finished just 1 point ahead of Cherry Orchard in 2012-13.
