The 2016 Armagh Senior Football Championship is the 116th official edition of the Armagh GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for senior club in County Armagh. The tournament consists of 16 teams with the winner going on to represent Armagh in the Ulster Senior Club Football Championship. The championship has a back-door format for the first two rounds before proceeding to a knock-out format. Generally, any team to lose two matches will be knocked out of the championship.
Crossmaglen Rangers are the defending champions after they defeated Armagh Harps 2-22 to 0-10 in the 2015 final, however they were knocked out at the semi-final stage this season by close rivals St. Patrick's Cullyhanna. This was only Crossmaglen's second loss in 20 years of Armagh Senior championship football.
This was Clann Éireann, Madden and Grange's return to the senior grade.
Forkhill and Grange were relegated to the I.F.C. for 2017 after finishing 7th and 8th respectively in this year's Senior 'B' Football League. They will be replaced next year by Whitecross and Culloville Blues after they claimed the 2016 I.F.C. and I.A.F.L. titles respectively.
On 16 October 2016, Maghery Sean MacDermott's claimed their first ever S.F.C. title when defeating St. Patrick's Cullyhanna in the Athletic Grounds on a score line of 1-13 to 0-13.
