The 2016 Offaly Senior Football Championship was the 119th edition of Offaly GAA's premier Gaelic football competition for senior graded clubs in County Offaly, Ireland. Eight teams compete, with the winner representing Offaly in the Leinster Senior Club Football Championship.
The championship starts with two groups of four teams and progresses to a knockout stage.
Edenderry were the defending champions after they defeated Rhode in the previous years final, however they failed to qualify for the knock-out stages this season.
This was Ballycumber's return to the senior grade after claiming the 2015 Offaly Senior B Football Championship title. They made the straight bounce back to the top flight after being relegated in 2014 to the Senior B championship due to the changing format of the championships, where the number of teams in the senior grade was reduced from 12 to 8. However, Ballycumber were relegated back to the Senior B Championship at the end of the season.
On 16 October 2016, Rhode claimed their 27th S.F.C. title when defeating Ferbane 1-14 to 0-9 in the final at O'Connor Park.
