The Lebanon women's national under-17 football team (Arabic: منتخب لبنان لكرة القدم تحت 17 سنة للسيدات‎), colloquially known as "the Lady Cedars" (Arabic: صبايا الأرز‎),[1][2] represents Lebanon in international women's youth football. The team is controlled by the Lebanon Football Association (LFA), the governing body for football in Lebanon. The team also serves as the women's national under-16 and women's national under-15 football team of Lebanon.

While the team has never qualified to either the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup or the AFC U-16 Women's Championship, they have won both the Arab U-17 Women's Cup and the WAFF U-15 Girls Championship, in 2015 and 2019 respectively, becoming the first Lebanese national team to win a title.[3]
