The 1953 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Final was the 66th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1953 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.

Mal McEvoy scored an early goal for Armagh, who led by two points after 40 minutes, before Kerry began to pile on the points. Armagh's Bill McCorry missed a penalty and Kerry won by four points.[1]

It was the first of three All-Ireland football titles won by Kerry in the 1950s.[2]

This was also the first Championship meeting of Armagh and Kerry.[3]
