The Clare Junior A Football Championship (abbreviated to Clare JAFC) is an annual GAA club competition organised by the Clare County Board for gaelic football clubs below intermediate and senior level. It is contested by the top-ranking junior gaelic football clubs in County Clare, Ireland. It is the third-tier adult competition of the Clare football pyramid.

The Clare JAFC was introduced in 1922 as a county-wide competition for gaelic football clubs deemed not strong enough for senior level. Intermediate level was introduced in 1927 for the same reason and placed above the Clare JAFC in the Clare football pyramid. In later years the Clare JAFC was opened to the second-, third-, and/or fourth-string teams from higher-ranked clubs.

The winners of the Clare JAFC are presented with the Michael Toner Cup, and are promoted to the Clare Intermediate Football Championship.

The current (2025) champions are Killimer who defeated Lissycasey by 0-17 to 1-13, to win their first title since 2023, and second overall at this grade.
