The 1936 All-Ireland Minor Football Championship was the eighth staging of the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament for boys under the age of 18.

Mayo entered the championship as defending champions.

On 27 September 1936, Louth won the championship following a 5-01 to 1-08 defeat of Kerry in the All-Ireland final. This was their first All-Ireland title.[1]

The victorious Louth team included several players from neighbouring counties who were boarding pupils at St. Mary's College, then the dominant side in Louth minor football. One of the boarders was captain Larry 'Lal' McEntee from Nobber, County Meath, whose nephew Dr. Gerry McEntee won the All-Ireland Senior Football Championship in both 1987 and 1988 with Meath.[2][3]
