The All-China Youth Federation (ACYF; Chinese: 中华全国青年联合会) is a people's organization that represents many youth groups in China, and is managed by the Communist Youth League of China. It was founded on 4 May 1949. Former paramount leaders and General Secretaries of the Chinese Communist Party Hu Jintao^[3] and Jiang Zemin were both members.

The All-China Youth Foundation was originally named the All-China Federation of Democratic Youth.^{[4]: 18–19} It developed because the CCP determined that while it had the Young Communist League to focus on the development of youths deemed politically advanced, it needed a broader-based organization as well.^{[4]: 18–19} Consequently, it created the All-China Federation of Democratic Youth, which held its first congress in 1949.^[4]: 19

In 1958, the organization was renamed the All-China Youth Federation.^[4]: 19

In 2024, Taiwan's Mainland Affairs Council banned its citizens from working at the All-China Youth Federation due to national security concerns.^[5]

IThe ACYF is an umbrella organization which includes the Young Pioneers of China, among other youth-focused groups.^[4]: 19 It represents many youth groups in China, and is managed by the Communist Youth League of China.^[4]: 19 It also serves as a consultative body to the Communist Youth League.^[4]: 19
