2022 Girls' U17 Volleyball European Championship
# 2022 Girls' U17 Volleyball European Championship

The 2022 Girls' Youth European Volleyball Championship was the 15th edition of the Girls' Youth European Volleyball Championship, a biennial international volleyball tournament organised by the European Volleyball Confederation (CEV) the girls' under-17 national teams of Europe. The tournament was held in Czech Republic (host cities Hradec Králové and Prostějov) from 16 to 24 July 2022.

Same as previous editions, the tournament acted as the CEV qualifiers for the World Championship. Following the decision of the FIVB Board of Administration, the age categories for the age-group events have been aligned so the teams qualified for the FIVB Volleyball Girls' U19 World Championship instead of previous Girls' U18.

Both the CEV and FIVB later excluded Belarus and Russia from participation in all competitions at the start of March.
