The 2017 AFC U-16 Women's Championship qualification was a women's under-16 football competition which decided the participating teams of the 2017 AFC U-16 Women's Championship, which will be held in Thailand.
A total of eight teams is set to play in the final tournament. North Korea, Japan, the host nation China and Thailand had already qualified directly as the top four finishers of the 2015 AFC U-16 Women's Championship, with Thailand expressing interest to participate in the qualifiers and hosted one of the groups. The top team from each of the three groups Thailand wasn't in (South Korea, Bangladesh and Australia) qualified for the final tournament and as Thailand finished top of their group in the qualifiers, Laos qualified to the final competition as the second-placed team from the same group.
The draw for the qualifiers was held on 19 May 2016 at the AFC House in Kuala Lumpur.
The teams were seeded according to their performance in the previous season in 2015.
