The FIVB Volleyball Women's U23 World Championship was the world championship of volleyball for female players under the age of 23 organized by Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB).

The first edition was staged in 2013 in Mexicali and Tijuana, Mexico and tournaments were played every two years until 2017.[1] The last tournament was hosted by Turkey in Ankara and won by Brazil. FIVB did not announce the 2019 edition of the U23 tournament,[2] later declaring that "As per decision of May 2019 FIVB Board of Administration, the U23 WCH has been abolished."[3]

A corresponding tournament for male players was the FIVB Volleyball Men's U23 World Championship.
