The 1970 Meath Intermediate Football Championship is the 44th edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 22 teams. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.

No team was relegated from the S.F.C. the previous year.

Martinstown and Star of the Sea were promoted after claiming the 1969 Meath Junior Football Championship title and Junior 'A' Divisional runners-up spot respectively. Garryowen were also promoted from the J.A.F.C.

On 29 November 1970, Dunderry claimed their 3rd Intermediate championship title when they defeated Flathouse 2-9 to 1-3 in the final in Pairc Tailteann, and thus returned the top flight of Meath club football.
