The 1992 Arab Junior Athletics Championships was the fifth edition of the international athletics competition for under-20 athletes from Arab countries. It took place in Latakia, Syria – the third consecutive time that the event was staged in the country. Morocco and Egypt, two of the region's most prominent nations in the sport, did not send a team to the competition, which reduced the standard of the performances. A total of 40 athletics events were contested, 23 for men and 17 for women.[1]

The women's 10,000 metres was dropped from the programme on this occasion. Track events were timed only to the tenth of a second, rather than the international standard hundredth of a second. Algeria topped the medal table with fifteen gold medals, mostly in the women's section. Qatar was runner-up with twelve gold medals and was dominant in the men's track events. The most prominent athletes to medal at the competition were men's race walk runner-up Hatem Ghoula, who went on to dominate the African race walk scene and win a World Championships medal, and double middle-distance medallist Ali Hakimi, who was an Olympic finalist in 1996.[1][2][3]
