The 2008 Meath Senior Football Championship was the 116th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 16 teams, with the winner going on to represent Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

Seneschalstown were the defending champions after they defeated Navan O'Mahonys after a replay in the previous years final.

Donaghmore/Ashbourne were promoted after claiming the 2007 Meath Intermediate Football Championship title, their first ever year in the senior grade.

This was also Duleek/Bellewstown's first year as a senior club as the clubs Duleek and Bellewstown amalgamated before the start of the championship. Duleek were a senior club while Bellewstown played in the Junior 'B' Championship.

On 11 October 2008, Navan O'Mahonys claimed their 17th Senior Championship title when they defeated Summerhill 2-12 to 0-7. Paddy Smyth lifted the Keegan Cup for O'Mahonys while former All-Star Stephen Bray claimed the 'Man of the Match' award.
