The North Korea women's national under-20 football team represents the Democratic People's Republic of Korea in international association football competitions in the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, the AFC U-20 Women's Asian Cup, and other under-20 women's international football tournaments. The team is governed by the DPR Korea Football Association.

They have won the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup three times, in 2006, 2016 and 2024. Upon the former triumph, they became the first Asian team to win a FIFA women's tournament and the first Asian football team to win any FIFA tournaments since Saudi Arabia's victory in the 1989 FIFA U-16 World Championship.

They have also won the AFC U-19 Women's Championship twice, in 2007 and again in 2024.
