The 1959 All-Ireland Minor Football Championship was the 28th staging of the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament for boys under the age of 18.

Dublin entered the championship as defending champions.

On 27 September 1959, Dublin won the championship following an 0-11 to 1-4 defeat of Cavan in the All-Ireland final. This was their seventh All-Ireland title overall and their second in succession. It was also a fifth All-Ireland title in six championship seasons for Dublin.{{cite news|url=https://www.rte.ie/sport/gaa/2008/0928/238817-minor_foot_roh/|title=All-Ireland Minor Football Championship: Roll Of Honour|publisher=RTÉ Sport|accessdate=20 September 2011|date=19 November 2012}}
