The 1992 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship was the 106th staging of the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament. The championship began on 17 May 1992 and ended on 20 September 1992.

Down entered the championship as the defending champions; however, they were defeated by Derry in the Ulster semi-final.

Clare shocked many people by defeating Kerry in the Munster final to win only their second provincial senior title (their first having come in 1917); they narrowly lost to Dublin in the All-Ireland semi-final.

Ulster champions Donegal then defeated Dublin in the All-Ireland final by 0-18 to 0-14, thus claiming their first All-Ireland senior title.
