The 1993 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 107th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament. The championship began on 16 May 1993 and ended on 19 September 1993.

Donegal entered the championship as the defending champions; however, they were defeated by Derry in the Ulster final played during a deluge in Clones.

Derry went on to win the Sam Maguire Cup for the first time, beating Dublin in the All-Ireland semi-final and then Cork in the All-Ireland final by 1-14 to 2-8. Seamas Downey scored Derry's only goal, with his Lavey club mate, John McGurk, being named RTÉ man of the match.

  • On 30 May 1993, in Tuam Stadium, Tuam, Leitrim recorded their first win over Galway since 1949.
  • On 20 June 1993, the Munster semi-final game between Tipperary vs Waterford was the first game to be played at Walsh Park, Waterford for 36 years.
  • Tipperary reached their first Munster final since 1944 and was first without Kerry since 1957.
  • The All Ireland between Dublin and Derry was Derry's first championship wins over Dublin after Dublin having win in the 1958 All Ireland final and 1975 All Ireland semi-final.
  • The All-Ireland final between Cork and Derry was a unique occasion as it was the first ever championship meeting between the two teams. Derry, who were appearing in only their second All-Ireland final and their first since 1958, won the championship for the first and only time in their history. Prime Minister of Australia Paul Keating was a guest of Taoiseach Albert Reynolds at the match. A crowd control gate at the Canal End had to be opened during the match to allow 120 people, mainly women and children, onto the sideline. It was the last All-Ireland final to be played before the complete renovation of Croke Park.
