The CPLP Games (Portuguese: Jogos da CPLP, sometimes translated as "Youth Lusofonia Games" or "Lusofonia Youth Games") is a multinational multi-sport event organized by the Community of Portuguese Language Countries (CPLP), which involves athletes coming from Lusophone (Portuguese-speaking) countries that are less than 16 years old.

This event is similar in concept to the Lusophone Games, but for younger athletes.
