The England women's national under-20 football team is an association football representing England women at under-20 level. It has been governed by the Football Association (FA) since 1993, having been previously administered by the Women's Football Association (WFA). Although most national football teams represent a sovereign state, as a member of the United Kingdom's Home Nations, England is permitted by FIFA statutes to maintain its own national side that competes in all major tournaments.

In 2018 they finished third at the 2018 FIFA Under-20 Women's World Cup, their best ever finish at the tournament after winning the play-off for third 4-2 on penalties against the host nation France.[1] In the knockout rounds, they overcame tournament debutants the Netherlands 2-1 in the quarter-finals before losing 2-0 to Japan, the first time England they had reached the semi-final stage.[2][3]
