The 1941 Tasmanian Australian National Football League (TANFL) premiership season was an Australian rules football competition staged in Hobart, Tasmania, over fourteen roster rounds and two finals series matches between 10 May and 20 September 1941.
This was the final season of pre-World War Two football, which resulted in most clubs struggling to field full squads of players due to enlistment in the military forces. In the off-season the TANFL considered instituting a competition for players too young to serve in the military, but it did not pursue the idea.
This was the final season of both Cananore and Lefroy Football Clubs, which both folded during the wartime cessation.
