(Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio – FIGC) | Sub-confederation = The Italy national U-16 football team is the national under-16 football team of Italy and is controlled by the Italian Football Federation. The team was known as Italy national under-15 football team prior to 2001, to reflect the age limit at the start of the season instead of the end of the season.

The Italy under-16 football team is a feeder team of the Italy under-17 team.

The under-16 team was known as the under-15 team prior to 2001. Before then, the UEFA European Under-17 Championship was known as UEFA European Under-16 Football Championship (the under-19 Championship was similarly known as the under-18 tournament) due to the name referring to the age limit at the start of a new season. The age limit moved from August to January for the 1997–98 tournament. Since the 2002 Tournament, the age in the name of the tournament has referred to the age limit at the end of the season. The current manager is Daniel Zoratto. They play most their home matches at the Stadio Comunale "Filippo Pirani" in Grottammare, Marche.
