United States men's national bandy team has been taking part in the Bandy World Championships since 1985, being the first nation to join apart from the four teams which had so far participated in almost all the world championships; the Soviet Union, Sweden, Finland and Norway. However, the American team has yet to make it to the championship medals. The country also has a United States women's national bandy team. This article deals chiefly with the men's national team.

America also plays Canada in the annual Can-Am Bandy Cup.
