The Tunisia national under-23 football team has represented Tunisia in men's international association football for players aged 23 or under. The team is administered by the Tunisian Football Federation (TFF), which governs football in Tunisia. On a continental level, the team competes under the Confederation of African Football (CAF), which governs associate football in Africa, and is also affiliated with FIFA for global competitions. Additionally, the team is a member of the Union of North African Football (UNAF) and the Union of Arab Football Associations (UAFA). The team is colloquially known as Eagles of Carthage by fans and the media, with the bald eagle serving as its symbol. Their home kit is primarily white and their away kit is red, which is a reference to the national flag of the country.

Since the football tournament of the Olympic Games were limited to under-23 teams, Tunisia has qualified twice for the event in Atlanta 1996 and Athens 2004 and was eliminated in the group stage in both appearances. Tunisia qualified for the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations for the first time in 2015 after beating Sudan and Morocco in the qualification, the team eliminated from the group stage. Since then, Tunisia has not qualified again.
