The Tottenham Hotspur Academy is the youth system of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. The academy was created to train and develop players from the age of eight all the way through to the age of 23. Many of those who have progressed through Tottenham's academy have gone on to sign professional contracts and several have represented their country at full international level.

The reserves in recent times have been known as the Development Squad to reflect the purpose of producing players for the first team. They won one Premier Reserve League South title following the league's formation in 1999 and were runners-up in the inaugural U21 Premier League which took over from 2012, becoming the Professional Development League's Premier League 2 in 2016. In Premier League 2, matches were for the under-23's until the 2022–23 season, since when the competition has been limited to under-21's.

The under-18's take part in the U18 Premier League, also a part of the Professional Development League.
