The Nordic Under-17 Football Championship (also Nordic Under-17 Tournament or Nordic Cup, Swedish: Nordisk Pojkturnering) is an open Nordic championship tournament for under-17 national football teams.

The competition has been held annually since 1975, exceptions being years 1981 and 1983. It has been an "under-17" event since 2005. The tournament takes place each year in a different Nordic country. It has also been held once in West Germany (1980) and once in England (1999).
