The Russia national badminton team (Russian: Сборная России по бадминтону) represents Russia in international badminton competitions. The team is organized by the National Badminton Federation of Russia (NBFR) located in Moscow. The NBFR became the sport's sole administrator when the Russian Badminton Federation (RBF) was dissolved by the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) in 2005.
In light of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Badminton World Federation (BWF) banned Russian athletes and officials from tournaments. It also cancelled all BWF-sanctioned events in Russia, and banned all Russian national flags and symbols from being displayed at any BWF-sanctioned event.
On August 29, 2023, BWF announced that Russian athletes will be allowed to compete as neutrals starting February 26, 2024.
