The 1941 All-Ireland Junior Football Championship was the 24th staging of the All-Ireland Junior Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.

Roscommon entered the championship as the defending champions, but lost to Leitrim in the opening round of the Connacht Championship.

The All-Ireland final was played on 21 September 1941 at Croke Park between Kerry and Cavan, in what was the first ever meeting of the two counties in the final. Kerry won the match by 0–09 to 0–04 to claim their sixth championship title overall and a first since 1930.
