A bandy ball is a rubber ball used for playing bandy and rink bandy.

The core of the ball is made of cork and this is surrounded by rubber or rubber-like plastic.

The ball should be manufactured in a diameter of 62.4 or 63.8 mm (2.46 or 2.51 in) (the latter is called a "Russian ball") and the colour was originally red, later orange or cerise. According to the Bandy Playing Rules set up by the Federation of International Bandy, any of these is allowed, but all balls used in one game must be of the same colour and type.^[1]

Bandy balls are manufactured by companies such as Jofa, Kosa, and Reebok.

A similar ball is used in the sport of rinkball but the rinkball ball is blue in color rather than the orange or cerise color seen in both bandy and rink bandy.
