The 2008 CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship was the 4th edition of the CONCACAF Women's U-20 Championship, the biennial international youth football championship organised by CONCACAF for the women's under-20 national teams of the North, Central American and Caribbean region. The top three sides also earned qualification to the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup.

The tournament was held from June 17 to June 28, 2008. It featured eight teams and was played entirely at the Estadio Cuauhtémoc in Puebla City, Mexico. The tournament was won by Canada, who defeated the United States in the final by a score of 1–0. Mexico secured the final qualification spot by defeating Costa Rica in the third-place match.
