The 2022 South American Under-20 Women's Football Championship was the 10th edition of the South American Under-20 Women's Football Championship (Spanish: CONMEBOL Sudamericano Femenino Sub-20), the biennial international youth football championship organised by CONMEBOL for the women's under-20 national teams of South America. It was held in La Calera, Chile from 6 to 24 April 2022.[1][2]

The top two teams of the tournament qualified for the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Costa Rica as the CONMEBOL representatives.

Brazil were the defending champions having won the title in 2018 since the final stage of the 2020 edition ended up being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic and consequently there was no champion for that year. Brazil successfully retained their title and won their ninth in a row after finish first in the final stage and alongside the runners-up Colombia qualified for the 2022 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.[3]
