The North American Youth Chess Championship (NAYCC) is an annual chess tournament for participants under 18, first held in 2004 in Boca Raton, Florida. This event is open to players from Canada, Mexico, and the United States. The tournament has 6 age brackets, in two-year increments, from U8 (under 8) to U18. For each age bracket, there is an open championship and a separate championship for girls. Since at least 2015, there is also a blitz tournament.

The 2020 North American Youth Championships had been postponed to 2021. In 2021, it was held in Chicago, Illinois. The U18 champions in NAYCC 2021 are Dimitar Mardov (Open), Alice Lee (Girls), and Nico Chasin (Blitz).
