The 2020 UEFA European Under-17 Championship (also known as UEFA Under-17 Euro 2020) was originally to be held as the 19th edition of the UEFA European Under-17 Championship (38th edition if the Under-16 era is also included), the annual international youth football championship organised by UEFA for the men's under-17 national teams of Europe, before being cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Estonia, which were selected by UEFA on 9 December 2016, were originally to host the tournament. A total of 16 teams were originally to play in the tournament, with players born on or after 1 January 2003 eligible to participate.

The final tournament was originally scheduled to be played between 21 May – 6 June 2020. After initially being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, UEFA announced on 1 April 2020 that the tournament had been cancelled.

The Netherlands were the two-time defending champions.
