The 2016 Leinster Senior Football Championship was the 2016 installment of the annual Leinster Senior Football Championship held under the auspices of Leinster GAA. The competition ran from 14 May to 17 July 2016.
Dublin came into the competition as the defending champions, having won their 54th title and completed a 5-in-a-row the previous season. The draw for the championship was made on 16 October 2015. As in the previous two seasons, the two sides were named as A and B, to allow for teams to more easily predict the dates of their qualifier matches. Carlow, Dublin, Laois, Louth, Meath and Wicklow were named to the A side, with Kildare, Longford, Offaly, Westmeath and Wexford on the B side.
The final was a replay of the previous year's decider, with Dublin facing Westmeath. Dublin won 2-19 to 0-10 in the final in Croke Park, the county's first six-in-a-row since the 1970s.
The Leinster championship is contested by 11 of the 12 counties in the Irish province of Leinster. Kilkenny is the only county to not compete.
