The 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup was the 19th edition of the FIFA U-17 World Cup, the biennial international men's youth football tournament contested by the under-17 national teams of the member associations of FIFA. It was held in Indonesia from 10 November to 2 December 2023.[1] This was the first time that Indonesia hosted a FIFA tournament, the first time that the FIFA U-17 World Cup was held in Southeast Asia and the third Asian country to host U-17 World Cup after United Arab Emirates in 2013 and India in 2017. It was the third time a men's FIFA tournament was held in the region, after the 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship in Malaysia and the 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup in Thailand.

This edition marked the return of the tournament after a four-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing FIFA to cancel the 2021 edition.[2]

Brazil were the defending champions, having won their fourth title in 2019, but were eliminated after losing 3–0 to Argentina in the quarter-finals.
