The 2023 South American U-17 Championship was the 19th edition of the South American U-17 Championship (Spanish: CONMEBOL Sudamericano Sub-17), the biennial international youth football championship organized by CONMEBOL for the men's under-17 national teams of South America. It was held in Ecuador between 30 March and 23 April 2023. This was the first U-17 championship in four years due to the COVID-19 pandemic forcing CONMEBOL to cancel the tournament in 2021.
Like previous editions, the tournament served as the CONMEBOL qualifiers for the FIFA U-17 World Cup. The top four teams of the tournament qualified for the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Indonesia as the CONMEBOL representatives. Brazil won their thirteenth South American U-17 title after finishing first in the final stage's group and a spot at the World Cup. They were joined by the other top four teams in Ecuador, Argentina and Venezuela.
