The 2025 Cork Premier Senior Football Championship was the sixth staging of the Cork Premier Senior Football Championship and the 137th staging overall of a championship for the top-ranking Gaelic football teams in Cork. The draw for the group stage placings took place on 10 December 2024. The championship ran from 3 July to 26 October 2025.
Castlehaven entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by St Finbarr's in the quarter-finals. One-time champions Carbery Rangers' relegation brought an end to 19 years of top tier football for the club.
