The 2019 London Senior Football Championship was the 116th edition of London GAA's premier gaelic football tournament for senior clubs in London. The tournament consists of 8 teams, with the winner going on to represent London in the Connacht Senior Club Football Championship. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

Tír Chonaill Gaels were the defending champions after they defeated Fulham Irish in the previous years final after a replay.

Neasden Gaels made the straight bounce back to the senior grade after just one seasons in the Intermediate grade by winning the 2018 London I.F.C. after a 2-13 to 0-13 final victory over St. Joseph's. This was their third I.F.C. triumph overall and their first since 2016.

On 20 October 2019 Tír Chonaill Gaels claimed their 19th S.F.C. crown and second in a row when defeating Fulham Irish in the final by 1-11 to 1-10 at McGovern Park for the second year running.

Parnells were relegated to the 2020 I.F.C. after conceding two walk-overs in the group stages and were subsequently eliminated.
