Brännboll (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈbrɛmːbɔlː]) (brennball or slåball ("hitball") in Norway; rundbold ("roundball") in Denmark) is a game similar to rounders, baseball, lapta and pesäpallo played on amateur level throughout Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Germany, mostly on fields and in public parks, but it is also part of the PE curriculum in some areas. The name is derived from the act of catching a player between two bases at the end of a batting round, referred to as burning them (bränna), roughly equivalent to being out in baseball. The world championship, called Brännbollscupen, is an annual event in the Swedish city of Umeå.

In contrast to baseball and cricket, there is no pitcher/bowler, but the batsman himself throws or bounces the ball (usually a tennis ball) and hits it with his bat. A selection of bats is sometimes available, with a regular wooden or metallic baseball bat usually present, and a paddle-like bat resembling a cricket bat available for less experienced batsmen, often called tjejträ (girl-bat). While it is somewhat disparaging, it is a general term in brännboll. On some occasions, there is also a stiff racket, commonly called the stekpanna (frying pan). The valid area for a successful batting is usually delimited by natural features such as trees, or simply an agreed upon imaginary border, this rule only restricts how widely the batter can hit, but not how far. The proportions of the field and positioning of the players are arbitrary, albeit usually adjusted according to the batting and running ability of the players, as well as the player count.
