The Yugoslavia national under-21 football team existed in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. After the state's dissolution in 1992, the following teams were formed:
- Bosnia and Herzegovina national under-21 football team
- Croatia national under-21 football team
- Macedonia national under-21 football team
- Slovenia national under-21 football team
- FR Yugoslavia national under-21 football team (succeeded by Serbia national under-21 football team and Montenegro national under-21 football team in 2003)
Following the realignment of UEFA's youth competitions in 1976, Yugoslavia's Under-21 team was formed. The team had a varied record, reaching the last four in four tournaments and failing to qualify for four. Yugoslavia won the inaugural competition in 1978. Since the under-21 competition rules insist that players must be 21 or under at the start ot a two year competition, technically it is an U-23 competition. Yugoslavia's record in U-23 competitions is also shown.

Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
