The Lebanon national under-17 football team (Arabic: منتخب لبنان تحت 17 سنة لكرة القدم) is the national under-17 football team of Lebanon and is controlled by the Lebanese Football Association. The team also serves as the national under-16 and national under-15 football teams of Lebanon.

While the team is yet to qualify for both the FIFA U-17 World Cup and the AFC U-17 Asian Cup, they participate in the Arab Cup U-17 and WAFF U-16 Championship. Lebanon reached the final of the 2022 WAFF U-16 Championship, losing 1–0 to hosts Jordan.[1] The team has produced several senior nationals, such as Hussein El Dor, Omar El Kurdi, Jad Noureddine and Mohamad Kdouh.[2][3]
