2013 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship qualification

The 2013 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship qualification were two rounds of qualifying tournaments for the 2013 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship, held in Switzerland.[1]

With a return of Slovakia, who haven't been played since the inaugural edition, and Under-17 newcomers Montenegro a new record of 44 participating nations was set.[2] The 44 UEFA members were divided into 11 groups of four teams, with each group being contested as a mini-tournament, hosted by one of the group's teams. After all matches have been played, the 11 group winners and the five best runner-up teams will advance to the second round.

The draw was made on 15 November 2011.[3] Matches were played from 28 August 2012 to 3 November 2012.
