The Connacht Under-21 Football Championship is the premier inter-county "knockout" competition for players aged under 21 years (on 1 January of competition year) played in the province of Connacht, in Ireland. The championship is organised by the Connacht council of the Gaelic Athletic Association and is played in Spring. The winners represent Connacht in the All-Ireland Under-21 Football Championship semi-finals.

Mayo are the current (2016) Connacht Under-21 Football Champions. They beat Roscommon in Markievicz Park to win their first title since 2009. This ended Roscommon's bid to win the title 3 years in a row.
