The 1942 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the 55th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1942 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.

Paddy O'Connor goaled for Dublin in the 10th minute, and five late points gave them a narrow victory, their first title in nineteen years.[1]

Dublin's first All-Ireland football title since 1923, brought to an end a 19-year barren spell for the county, rivalled only by their team of the late 1990s and 2000s.[2]

This was the third of three consecutive All-Ireland football finals lost by Galway, following defeats to Kerry at the final hurdle in 1940 and 1941.[3]
