The 2020 Meath Senior Football Championship was the 128th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in County Meath, Ireland with 16 teams competing. The winner did not represent Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship as the GAA made the decision to cancel the 2020 Provincial and All-Ireland Club Championships due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Gaelic games.[1] The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

Ratoath were the defending champions after they defeated Summerhill in the 2019 final to claim their first ever S.F.C. crown.[2]

This was Nobber's return to the top flight after six years in the Intermediate grade, after claiming the 2019 I.F.C. title.[3]

The draw for the group stages of the championship were made on 21 June 2020 with the games commencing on 31 July 2020.

On 4 October 2020, Ratoath retained the Keegan Cup after defeating Gaeil Colmcille 1-14 to 1-13 in the final. Joey Wallace, who scored the winning goal in the 8th minute of injury time, was awarded the Man of the Match award.[4]
