The Russia men's national field hockey team represents Russia in international field hockey competitions.

In response to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the FIH banned Russia from the 2022 Women's FIH Hockey Junior World Cup, and banned Russian and Belarusian officials from FIH events.[2] In addition, the European Hockey Federation banned the participation of all Russian athletes and officials from all events sanctioned by the Federation.[3]

Tournament record

Russia has never qualified for the World Cup or the Summer Olympics. They have competed four times in the EuroHockey Championship where their best result was the seventh place in 2011.[4]
