The African U-20 Women's World Cup qualification is a biennial youth women's association football qualification competition for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup organized by the Confederation of African Football for its nations.

A final was played in the first two editions in 2002 and 2004 as only one team qualified for the first two editions of the U-20 Women's World Cup in those years. Since 2006, with the confederation granted a second spot, all qualification editions till date were and are played in a home-and-away knock-out format until 4 teams are left with half that number booking their spots at the international tournament. On 7 June 2023, CAF revealed the formats for the qualification procedures for the next editions of the FIFA U-20 and U-17 Women's World Cups, the former whose draw was conducted the following day.
