The 2023 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship was the 14th edition of the UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship, the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for the women's under-17 national teams of Europe. Estonia was hosting the tournament from May 14 to 26.[2] It was the first women's final tournament to be held in Estonia.[3] A total of eight teams were playing in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2006 eligible to participate.
Germany were the two-time defending champions but were eliminated in the group stage. In the final, France won their first title by defeating Spain 3–2.
48 (out of 55) UEFA nations entered the qualifying competition, with the hosts Estonia also competing despite already qualifying automatically, and seven teams qualified for the final tournament at the end of round 2 to join the hosts. The draw for round 1 was held on 31 May 2022, at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.[4]

If more than two teams were tied, and after applying all head-to-head criteria above, a subset of teams were still tied, all head-to-head criteria above were reapplied exclusively to that subset of teams;
Goal difference in all group matches;
Goals scored in all group matches;
Penalty shoot-out if only two teams had the same number of points, and they met in the last round of the group and were tied after applying all criteria above (not used if more than two teams had the same number of points, or if their rankings were not relevant for qualification for the next stage);
Disciplinary points (red card = 3 points, yellow card = 1 point, expulsion for two yellow cards in one match = 3 points);
