The 2005 All-Ireland Minor Football Championship was the 74th 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.

Tyrone entered the championship as defending champions, however, they were defeated by Down in the Ulster quarter-final.

On 25 September 2005, Down won the championship following a 1–15 to 0–8 defeat of Mayo in the All-Ireland final. This was their fourth All-Ireland title overall and their first title in six championship seasons.[1]
