Group M of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification tournament is one of the 13 groups to decide the teams which qualify for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations finals tournament. The group consists of four teams: Cameroon, South Africa, Gambia, and Mauritania.[1]

The teams play against each other home-and-away in a round-robin format, between June 2015 and September 2016.[2]
