2000 Meath Senior Football Championship

The 2000 Meath Senior Football Championship was the 108th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consisted of 16 teams, with the winner going on to represent Meath in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship started with a group stage and then progressed to a knock out stage.

Skryne were the defending champions after they defeated Dunshaughlin in the previous year's final.

Syddan were promoted after claiming the 1999 Meath Intermediate Football Championship title, their second Intermediate win.

On 17 September 2000, Dunshaughlin claimed their first ever and also the first of three successive Senior Championship titles with a 1-19 to 2-6 win over Kilmainhamwood. The game was broadcast live across Ireland on TG4. Dermot Kealy raised the Keegan Cup for Dunshaughlin while his brother Richie claimed the 'Man of the Match' award.

Moynalvey were relegated after 17 years in the senior grade. Blackhall Gaels were also relegated after 2 years as a senior club.
