The 2024 African U-20 Women's World Cup qualification was the 12th edition of the African U-20 Women's World Cup qualification, the biennial international youth football competition organised by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to determine which women's under-20 national teams from Africa qualify for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup. Players born on or after 1 January 2004 were eligible to compete in the tournament.

Four teams qualified from this tournament for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup in Colombia as the CAF representatives.
