Italian Bandy Federation (Italian: Federazione Italiana Bandy) was a governing body for bandy and rink bandy in Italy. It had its headquarters in Milan.

The Federation was founded in 2003 and became a member of the Federation of International Bandy (FIB) on 26 October the same year.[1][2] One of the driving forces behind the reintroduction of bandy in Italy was former AC Milan footballer Nils Liedholm, who became an honorary chairman of the federation.[3] As of 2017, the federation is defunct and is not listed as a member of FIB anymore.[4]
