ICC U19 Cricket World Cup Africa Qualifier (formerly ICC Africa Under-19 Championships) are a series of regular cricket tournaments organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for under-19 teams from its African member nations. It is the regional qualifier for the ICC Under-19 World Cup.

The initial tournament was staged in 2001 but did not return until 2007. During the interim years a joint competition with the East Asia-Pacific Cricket Council was held. A second division was added in 2009 providing affiliate nations with a chance to participate. After this first edition, two teams were promoted, but since then only one team has moved between divisions. The two divisions are played at different times and in different locations.

The current champions are Tanzania, who won the 2025 tournament in Nigeria to qualify for the 2026 Under-19 Cricket World Cup. Namibia have won seven titles, the most of any team, while Uganda have won twice and Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania once each.
