'''Piala Afrika U-23''', atau yang dikenal juga sebagai '''U-23 AFCON''' atau '''U-23 CAN''', adalah turnamen [[sepak bola]] empat tahunan yang diselenggarakan oleh [[Konfederasi Sepak Bola Afrika]] (CAF) yang terdiri dari pemain berusia di bawah 23 tahun, dan pertama kali diadakan di tahun [[Kejuaraan U-23 Afrika 2011|2011]]. Diselenggarakan setiap empat tahun sekali sejak diresmikan, tiga negara teratas lolos langsung dari setiap edisi turnamen ini ke [[Sepak bola pada Olimpiade Musim Panas|turnamen sepak bola]] di ajang [[Olimpiade Musim Panas|Olimpiade]].

[[Tim nasional sepak bola Mesir|Mesir]], [[Tim nasional sepak bola Gabon|Gabon]], [[Tim nasional sepak bola Maroko|Maroko]] dan [[Tim nasional sepak bola Nigeria|Nigeria]] adalah tim tersukses di turnamen ini dengan masing-masing memenangkan satu gelar. Maroko dan Mesir adalah satu-satunya negara yang pernah memainkan final dua kali. Maroko adalah juara turnamen saat ini, setelah mengalahkan Mesir dengan skor 2-1 di final tahun 2023.

==Sejarah==
Dimulai pada tahun 1956, atau setahun sebelum berdirinya CAF, telah ada turnamen kualifikasi [[Sepak bola pada Olimpiade Musim Panas|sepak bola Olimpiade]] untuk tim-tim Afrika, tetapi turnamen tersebut dilakukan dengan sistem kandang dan tandang. Pada tahun 2011, CAF membentuk turnamen kualifikasi mandiri penuh waktu untuk menyelaraskan dengan peningkatan menjadi dan menamakannya Piala U-23 Afrika. Pada tanggal 6 Agustus 2015, Komite Eksekutif CAF memutuskan untuk mengubah nama turnamen menjadi '''Piala Afrika U-23''', mirip dengan versi seniornya, [[Piala Afrika]].<ref>{{cite web|date=9 August 2015|title=Decisions of CAF Executive Committee on 6 August 2015|url=https://www.cafonline.com/news-center/news/decisions-of-caf-executive-committee-on-6-august-2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220915142306/https://www.cafonline.com/news-center/news/decisions-of-caf-executive-committee-on-6-august-2015|archive-date=15 September 2022|website=[[Confederation of African Football|CAFOnline.com]]|access-date=1 September 2022}}</ref>
