The All Joseon Football Championship () was a football competition held annually by the Joseon Football Association in Korea under Japanese rule between 1935 and 1940. It was a qualifying tournament for the Emperor's Cup and is being recognised as a predecessor of the Korea Cup.
The Joseon Football Association was founded in 1933, and started to hold their annual football competition, All Joseon Football Championship, in 1935 regardless of the All Joseon Football Tournament, held by Joseon Sports Council since 1921. Its champions qualified for Japanese national football cup, Emperor's Cup, and inaugural champions Kyungsung FC won the Emperor's Cup title the same year. In 1940, the competition was abolished by Japan prior to World War II.
