The AMF Futsal World Championships (previously called the FIFUSA Futsal World Championships) is the international championships for futsal, the indoor version of football organized by FIFUSA (1971–2002) and AMF (2003–present).

The world championship tournament was held every three years until 2003, and is now played every four years. The first event was held in 1982 in Brazil. The South American teams have won most of the championships, with Colombia and Paraguay as the most successful teams with 3 titles each.

Since 2008, a women's tournament is also held. As of 2017, only three tournaments have been played: the 2008 edition in Spain, the 2013 edition in Colombia and the 2017 edition held once again in Spain.
