2016 Meath Senior Football Championship

The 2016 Meath Senior Football Championship is the 124th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in County Meath, Ireland. Eighteen teams compete, with the winner representing Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

Navan O'Mahonys were the defending champions after they defeated Na Fianna in the 2015 final, however they failed to make it past the group stages, winning only one match out of five.

This was Ratoath's first ever period in the senior grade after claiming the 2015 Meath Intermediate Football Championship title.

This year saw the 9th "Navan El Classico" take place in the SFC as Simonstown Gaels and Navan O'Mahonys drew in the group stage, leaving their overall head-to-head score as 5-3 in favour of O'Mahonys and 1 draw.

Ballinlough were relegated back the 2017 I.F.C. after losing the Relegation Play-off series, and thus ending their 2 year tenure in the top flight.

On 30 October 2016 Simonstown Gaels claimed their first ever S.F.C. triumph when defeating Donaghmore/Ashbourne in Pairc Tailteann on a scoreline of 1-14 to 0-8. Joe Lyons lifted the Keegan Cup for the north Navan side while Padraig McKeever claimed the "Man-of-the-Match" award. In his 18th season playing for Simonstown, 36 year old Séamus Kenny earned his first S.F.C. medal.

The draw for the group stages of the championship were made on 8 February 2016 with the games commencing on the weekend of 9 April 2016.
