The Kerry Junior Football Championship (known for sponsorship reasons as Kerry Petroleum County Junior Football Championship and abbreviated to the Kerry JFC) is an annual Gaelic football competition organised by the Kerry County Board of the Gaelic Athletic Association and contested by the second highest ranked junior clubs in the county of Kerry in Ireland. It is the fourth tier overall in the entire Kerry Gaelic football championship system.

The Kerry Premier Junior Football Championship was introduced in 2016 following a restructuring of the entire Kerry Gaelic football championship system at all levels.^[1] As a result, the champions no longer enter the Munster Junior Club Football Championship.

In its current format, the 16 participating club are drawn into four groups of four teams and play each other in a round-robin system. The four group winners and the four runners-up proceed to the knockout phase that culminates with the final match at FitzGerald Stadium. The winner of the Kerry Junior Championship, as well as being presented with the Cup, are promoted to the Kerry Premier Junior Football Championship.
