The Algeria U-17 women's national football team (Arabic: منتخب الجزائر لكرة القدم للإناث ما تحت 17 سنة) represents Algeria in international women's football for under 17. The team plays its home games at the Omar Hamadi Stadium in Algiers and is coached by Naïma Laouadi. Algeria played its first official competition in the 2018 African U-17 Women's World Cup Qualifying Tournament.
The national team made its official debut in February 2015 during their participation in the inaugural edition of the Arab U-17 Women's Cup hosted in Doha, Qatar. Starting their campaign with a 6–0 win against Iraq, the team experienced setbacks in the following matches against Palestine and Lebanon. They lost to Palestine again in the third-place playoff, ultimately securing a fourth-place finish.
In August 2017, the team marked its continental debut in the African U-17 Women's World Cup qualification. Initially scheduled to play Mali in the first round, the team received a Walkover as Mali withdrew, thereby securing their ticket to the second round. In the round that followed, they went on to confront Cameroon. Lacking a local championship for their age category, the Algerians faced defeats in both matches. The first leg ended in a 4–0 loss Algiers, while the second leg resulted in a large 7–0 defeat in Yaoundé.
Following a period of inactivity exceeding 5 years, the Algerian Football Federation revealed in July 2023 that former Algerian international Wahiba Rahal had been appointed as the team's coach. The team engaged in the African Qualifiers for the 2024 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in the Dominican Republic. This marked their second appearance in history, and they were drawn to play a doubleheader against Benin.
