2012 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship qualification
The 2012 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship qualification were two rounds of qualifying tournaments for the 2012 UEFA Women's Under-17 Championship, which was held in Switzerland.
With the debut of Bosnia and Herzegovina a new record of 42 participating nations was set. The 42 UEFA members with the exception of Germany and Netherlands, which received a bye, were divided into 10 groups of four teams, with each group being contested as a mini-tournament, hosted by one of the group's teams. After all matches were played, the 10 group winners and the four best runners-up advanced to the second round.
The draw was made on 16 November 2010. Matches were played from 29 September 2011 to 22 October 2011.
The seedings were assigned according to the Under-17 coefficient ranking. There were three pots, with the ten highest ranked teams in Pot A, the next ten in Pot B and the rest in Pot C.
