The 2016 Tipperary Senior Football Championship was the 126th edition of the Tipperary GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior graded teams in County Tipperary, Ireland. The tournament consisted of 16 teams (15 clubs and 1 divisional side) with the winner going on to represent Tipperary in the Munster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship began with a Group stage before proceeding to a knock-out format.

Clonmel Commercials were the defending champions after they defeated Moyle Rovers in the previous years final, however they relinquished their crown to Loughmore-Castleiney at the Semi-Final stage this season.

This was Upperchurch-Drombanes return to the senior grade after claiming the 2015 Tipperary Intermediate Football Championship title.

Loughmore-Castleiney won the title after a 1-9 to 1-6 win against Moyle Rovers in the final on 30 October. It was their third county senior football title in four years.[1][2]

Thomas McDonaghs were relegated to the 2017 IFC at the end of the season after conceding a walkover for each of their fixtures.
