The 2018 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship (also known as UEFA Women's Under-17 Euro 2018) was the 11th edition of the UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship. It is the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for women under-17 of Europe national teams. Lithuania, which were selected by UEFA on 26 January 2015, hosted the tournament from 9 to 21 May 2018.[1][2]

A total of eight teams played in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2001 were the ones eligible to participate. Each match had a duration of 80 minutes, consisting of two halves of 40 minutes with a 15-minute half-time.

Same as previous editions held in even-numbered years, the tournament acted as the UEFA qualifiers for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup. The top three teams of the tournament qualified for the 2018 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Uruguay as UEFA representatives.

Spain won their fourth title by beating defending champions Germany 2–0 in the final.[3]
