The 1972 Meath Intermediate Football Championship is the 46th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 23 teams. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

Drumree were relegated from the S.F.C. the previous year after 2 years as a top flight club.

Donaghmore and Boardsmill were promoted after claiming the 1971 Meath Junior Football Championship title and Junior 'A' Divisional runners-up spot respectively. St. Brigid's were also promoted after plying their trade in the Junior B (or Division II) ranks in 1971.

On 1 October 1972, Summerhill claimed their 1st Intermediate championship title when they defeated Martry 3-7 to 2-4 in the final in Pairc Tailteann, and thus returned the top flight of Meath club football, only their third period in the top flight and third year in total.

St. Colmcille's were relegated to the 1973 J.F.C. after just two years in the middle grade.
