The Cork Under-21 Football Championship is a Gaelic football competition in County Cork for players under 21. Clubs under the Cork GAA board take part, and Cork is divided into eight divisions, each running its own Under-21 championship. The eight divisional winners then compete to decide the county title. The champions receive the Pádraig A. Ó Murchú Cup, named after Weeshie Murphy of Bere Island, who served the GAA as a player and administrator and played for Cork on the 1945 All-Ireland winning team.

The championship is run at three levels: A, B and C. In 2024, 33 clubs competed in the Under-21 A Championship, and 26 clubs competed in the Under-21 C Championship; the number of B-level clubs varies. The B-level winners receive the Seán Ó Crualaoí Cup, donated in 2010 by the Crowley family of Bandon in memory of Seán Crowley, a long-time Cork GAA figure.
