* ''Literature/AlexRider''. He was secretly trained from birth -- and, by "secretly", we mean not even Alex himself was aware that the activities in question were training -- to carry the legacy of his uncle. Because he is in the wrong place in the wrong time, he is recruited early because no one will suspect a child. The series ultimately becomes a deconstruction of the character type. Far from finding his adventures exciting, Alex is forced to work for [=MI6=] and, against his will, basically becomes a ChildSoldier, all while becoming alienated from his friends and repeatedly traumatized by the mortal peril he is thrown into.

A Police procedural of sorts involving an ex-delinquent coopted into the police force to curb gang activity in schools. As she is always undercover, and uses an unusual gadget (her combat yo-yo), it's at least spy-adjacent.

The Teen Superspy is the [[ImprobableAge implausibly young]] agent of secret agency. Perhaps she's been [[{{Tykebomb}} trained from birth]] for this role. Perhaps she's carrying the legacy of a missing or dead parent. Perhaps the government figures no one will suspect children of being secret agents. Perhaps they were just in the wrong place at the right time. Whatever the case, expect them to have [[ShoePhone an arsenal of high-tech spy gadgets disguised as typical teen paraphernalia]].

* Literature/WhateleyUniverse: The Intelligence Cadet Corps, AKA the 'Spy Kids' or even more derisively, the 'Secret Squirrels'. They are [[Characters/WhateleyUniverseSchoolClubsAndCliques an official school club]] for wannabe spies and investigators, who spend most of the time spying on the Bad Seeds (the official club for the children of {{Supervillain}}s), the Masterminds (the somewhat less official club for aspiring criminal masterminds), and anyone else they deem suspicious - including some of the teachers and staff, with even their club sponsor not immune to their bugs and cameras. This compulsive intrusion on people's privacy gets them into deep trouble more than once, but at the same time they are instrumental in solving a few of the mysteries going on at [[SuperheroSchool Whateley Academy]].

* Sydney Bristow on ''Series/{{Alias}}'' is a Teen Superspy all grown up, and a relatively downplayed take on this trope, having been recruited into SD-6 as a 19-year-old college freshman just one year removed from teenage life. She's 26 by the start of the show and no longer an example, but the first season still has elements of this, as she has to juggle grad school with espionage.

Notably, the show was [[DivorcedInstallment originally born]] from an idea that Creator/JJAbrams had for a PlotTwist on ''Series/{{Felicity}}'', a drama about the titular college student that played like a slightly grown-up version of a TeenDrama, in which Felicity turned out to be a UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} agent.

They have superpowers of their own which is somewhat rare and normal law enforcement aren't allowed to use such powers so the organisation can't afford to be picky about their age.

* Played with in the ''Literature/SpyGearAdventures'' novels. The kids aren't officially members of any secret agency, and mostly just use spy gadgets they found in a warehouse in the woods. Some of their missions (which are all set in their hometown) have the possibility of world-changing implications should they fail, but they're rarely in real danger, and always make it out okay.

* In the Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse, the ComicBook/BlackWidow program is this trope given the Stale Beer treatment. Young orphan girls are taken into the program and subjected to a mix of TrainingFromHell and {{brainwash|ed}}ing to turn them into superspies for the Soviet and [[TheGreatPoliticsMessUp later]] Russian government. Natasha Romanoff and Yelena Belova both escaped from the program, and the plot of the ''Film/{{Black Widow|2021}}'' movie revolves around taking it down.
