The 2025 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship was the 16th 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. Faroe Islands hosted the tournament.[1] A total of eight teams are playing in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2008 eligible to participate.

In the 2024 final, Spain won their fifth title by defeating England 4–0.

This tournament acted as a qualifier for the 2025 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Morocco from 17 October to 8 November. UEFA's five berths were taken by the four WU17 Euro semi-finalists and the winner of a play-off between the two teams finishing third in their groups.[2]
