The Prince George Youth Custody Centre was a youth detention centre in Prince George, British Columbia. Operated by the Ministry of Children and Family Development, the facility had a capacity for 24 beds, prior to being closed in March 2024, due to low-occupancy rates. Upon closure, those in custody were transferred to the province's only remaining youth detention centre in Burnaby.

Prior to closure, School District 57 Prince George operated a high school program at the facility to provide education to students in custody.
