The Donegal Senior Ladies' Football Championship is an annual LGFA competition organised by Donegal LGFA among the top ladies' football clubs in County Donegal.

The winner qualifies to represent the county in the Ulster Ladies' Senior Club Football Championship, the winner of which progresses to the All-Ireland Senior Club Ladies' Football Championship. The winners are presented with the Donna Dunnion Boyle Memorial Cup, which was inaugurated in 2022. Donna represented Donegal LGFA at inter-county level and had previously won Donegal Senior LGFA Championships. Ms Dunnion Boyle was the husband of Brendan Boyle and the sister of Barry Dunnion.[1] Previously the winners had been presented with the Dom Breslin Cup.[2]

Termon are the 2023 champions. St Eunan's are the most successful club, with 13 titles.
