球型拼圖（英語：Puzzle Globe、Jigsaw Globe、Globe Puzzle、Puzzle Ball、Puzzle Sphere、Spherical Puzzle），也稱為拼圖球，屬於三維立體拼圖的一種，是以拼圖零片組合而成的圓球型球體。維基百科的徽誌就是一個例子，然而實體的球型拼圖的拼圖零片是呈現圓弧型式，這樣的設計才可以支撐起整個圓球。有些球型拼圖是由具有磁性的鐵質拼圖零片所構成，磁性引力設計可以防止球體下層崩解。
如同二維的平面拼圖，球型拼圖的材質大都為硬紙板，而且組裝完成時為單層球體。如同三維立體拼圖，組裝完成時則為三維立體球體。大多數的球型拼圖是以原來就具有球型外形物體作為設計藍本，如地球、月球及古地圖地球。
A puzzle globe, also called jigsaw globe, globe puzzle, puzzle ball, puzzle sphere or spherical puzzle, is a spherical assembly of puzzle pieces that, when put together, form a complete sphere or globe. The Wikipedia logo is an example of such a puzzle, although, unlike the Wikipedia logo, actual puzzle globes will generally have a one-piece spherical substrate that supports the puzzle pieces as they are laid in place. In some puzzle globes the substrate is steel and the puzzle pieces are magnetic; the magnetic attraction keeps pieces on the lower portion of the sphere from falling off.
Like a 2-D puzzle, a globe puzzle is often made of cardboard and the assembled pieces form a single layer. Like a 3-D puzzle, the final form is a three-dimensional shape. Most globe puzzles have designs representing spherical shapes such as the Earth, the Moon, and historical globes of the Earth.
