The 1936 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the 49th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1936 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.

Seamus O'Malley, a native of Lavalley, Ballinrobe, was captain of the victorious team.

Paddy Munnelly scored a hat-trick as Mayo coasted to an easy victory. Laois's Bill Delaney played with two broken bones in his foot.[2][3]

Henry Kenny, father of the future Taoiseach Enda Kenny, was on the winning Mayo team.

This was Mayo's first All-Ireland victory.
