The 2008 Kerry Senior Hurling Championship was the 107th staging of the Kerry Senior Hurling Championship since its establishment by the Kerry County Board in 1889. The competition ran from 1 August to 19 October 2008.

Lixnaw entered the championship as the defending champions, however, they were beaten by Causeway in a quarter-final replay.[1][2]

The final was played on 19 October 2008 at Austin Stack Park in Tralee, between Kilmoyley and Causeway, in what was their second meeting in the final overall and a first final meeting in four years. Kilmoyley won the match by 2–18 to 0–08 to claim a record-equalling 21st championship title overall and a first title in four years.[3][4]

Causeway's John Mike Dooley was the championship's top scorer with 5-20.
