The UEFA European Under-17 Championship, or simply the Euro Under-17, is an annual football competition, contested by the European men's under-17 national teams of the UEFA member associations.

The first stage takes place in autumn of the previous year, while the elite round is played in spring.

The winners of each elite round group join the host team in the final tournament, played in May.

In 2023, the German U-17 became the first UEFA team in this age group to become European and world champions with the same cohort.
