The 1993 FIFA World Youth Championship, known as the 1993 FIFA/Coca-Cola World Youth Championship for sponsorship purposes, was the 9th staging of the FIFA World Youth Championship. It took place across five cities in Australia. The tournament was to be held originally in Yugoslavia, but was moved to Australia due to the Yugoslav Wars.
Brazil won their third World Youth Championship title after beating Ghana 2–1.

- 3.^ Russia made their debut as independent nation. They were chosen as the descendant of the now-defunct Soviet Union, which qualified in 1977, 1979, 1983, 1985, 1989, and 1991 tournaments.
