The United Nations Interagency Panel on Juvenile Justice (IPJJ) is a coordination panel on technical advice and assistance in juvenile justice composed of 13 United Nations agencies and non-governmental organisations actively involved in juvenile justice. It was established following the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Resolution 1997/30.

An estimated 1.1 million children are deprived of their liberty worldwide, often suffering severe violations of their basic rights. The IPJJ works to change this situation by facilitating and enhancing the coordination of technical assistance in juvenile justice reform. Together, IPJJ members are present in over 180 countries.
