The Roscommon Senior Hurling Championship is an annual Gaelic Athletic Association competition organised by Roscommon GAA among the top hurling clubs in County Roscommon, Ireland. Since 2008 the winner goes on to play in the Connacht Intermediate Club Hurling Championship, the winner of which progresses to the All-Ireland Intermediate Club Hurling Championship. Before this Roscommon champions competed in the Connacht Senior Club Hurling Championship.

Four Roads are the current champions, defeating Athleague in the 2014 decider. Their 2012 win marked the first occasion in which a club captured five titles in a row and have extended this to seven with their 2014 win. Four Roads also lead the Roll of Honour with 32 titles, followed by Roscommon Gaels with 24 titles (last won in 1970). In the past Roscommon Gaels competed as St Coman's and Roscommon Town, while St Dominic's previously competed as St Patrick's.

Ballygar (County Galway) participated in the championship from the 1920s, winning two titles in 1930 and 1985, before transferring back to Galway in 1994. Since 1998, seven clubs compete in the championship, namely Athleague, Four Roads, Oran, Pádraig Pearse's, Roscommon Gaels, St Dominic's and Tremane.
