The 1988 All-Ireland Minor Football Championship was the 57th staging of the All-Ireland Minor Football Championship, the Gaelic Athletic Association's premier inter-county Gaelic football tournament for boys under the age of 18.

Down entered the championship as defending champions and were defeated in the Ulster Championship.

On 18 September 1988, Kerry won the championship following a 2-5 to 0-5 defeat of Dublin in the All-Ireland final. This was their 10th All-Ireland title and their first title in eight championship seasons.^[1]
