The 2023 Kerry Senior Football Championship was the 122nd edition of Kerry GAA's premier tournament for senior Gaelic football teams in County Kerry, Ireland. The tournament consisted of 16 teams (8 senior club teams and 8 divisional teams).[7] The Championship was won by East Kerry who retained their title.[8] As they are a divisional team, the winners of the 2023 Kerry Club Football Championship (Dingle) represented Kerry in the 2023 Munster Senior Club Football Championship.[9]

The format for the 2023 Championship was the same as that used in 2022 beginning with a mini-league phase followed by a single-elimination phase. The eight senior club teams and eight divisional teams (16 in total) were divided into four groups of four teams each, playing a single round-robin format. Teams were awarded 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw and none for a loss. The top two teams in each group advanced to the quarter-finals.[10][11]
