The 1935 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship final was the 48th All-Ireland Final and the deciding match of the 1935 All-Ireland Senior Football Championship, an inter-county Gaelic football tournament for the top teams in Ireland.

Cavan won by four points after Kildare centre-back Jack Higgins was injured. The Lilywhites (Kildare) would not reach the All-Ireland final again for another sixty-three years.[1] They also lost that final, this time to Galway, in 1998.[2][3]
