The 1938 All-Ireland Junior Hurling Championship was the 21st staging of the All-Ireland Junior Championship since its establishment by the Gaelic Athletic Association in 1912.

Dublin entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten in the Leinster Championship.[1][2]

The All-Ireland final was played on 30 October 1938 at New Eltham, between London and Cork, in what was their first ever meeting in a final.[3] London won the match by 4-04 to 4-01 to claim their first ever championship title.
