The 2023 FIVB Volleyball Women's U21 World Championship was the 22nd edition of the FIVB Volleyball Women's U21 World Championship, contested by the women's national teams under the age of 20 of the members of the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), the sport's global governing body. It was held in Mexico from 17 to 26 August 2023.[1]
This was the first edition with under-21 national teams after FIVB decided, in March 2022, to move the age category of the women's U20 championship to U21 in order to align it with the Men's U21 World Championship.[2][3]
Italy were the defending champions but failed to defend their title. China claimed their fourth title of U21 World Championship by defeating Italy 3–2 in the final match.

FIVB announced the hosts for its four Age Group World Championship on 24 January 2023,[1] with Mexico being selected to host the 2023 Women's U21 World Championship.[6] This will be the fifth time that Mexico hosts the FIVB Women's U21 World Championship having previously done so in 1981, 2009, 2017 and 2019.[7]
