The Asian Youth Climbing Championships are the continental championships for youth competition climbing in Asia. The championships include events in boulder, lead, and speed climbing.
Since the 2025 edition, competitors have been divided into the U17 and U19 age categories. Earlier editions used three categories: Youth B or U16, Youth A or U18, and Junior or U20.
The competition was previously held under the International Federation of Sport Climbing branding and was variously known as the IFSC Youth Asian Championships and the IFSC Asian Youth Championships. The 2026 edition is officially titled the World Climbing Asia Youth Championship.
