Lebanon women's national under-17 football team

The Lebanon women's national under-17 football team (), colloquially known as "the Junior Cedars" (), represents Lebanon in international women's youth football. The team is controlled by the Lebanese Football Association (LFA), the governing body for football in Lebanon. The team also serves as the women's national under-16 and women's national under-15 football team of Lebanon.

While the team has never participated in the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup, they qualified for the AFC U-17 Women's Asian Cup for the first time in 2026, thus becoming the first Lebanese women's national team to qualify for an Asian Cup tournament. Lebanon have won both the Arab U-17 Women's Cup (in 2015) and the WAFF U-17 Girls Championship (in 2019, 2023, and 2025). Their 2015 Arab Cup victory marked the first official title won by any Lebanese national football team, male or female.
