球型拼图（英语：Puzzle Globe、Jigsaw Globe、Globe Puzzle、Puzzle Ball、Puzzle Sphere、Spherical Puzzle），也称为拼图球，属于三维立体拼图的一种，是以拼图零片组合而成的圆球型球体。维基百科的徽志就是一个例子，然而实体的球型拼图的拼图零片是呈现圆弧型式，这样的设计才可以支撑起整个圆球。有些球型拼图是由具有磁性的铁质拼图零片所构成，磁性引力设计可以防止球体下层崩解。
如同二维的平面拼图，球型拼图的材质大都为硬纸板，而且组装完成时为单层球体。如同三维立体拼图，组装完成时则为三维立体球体。大多数的球型拼图是以原来就具有球型外形物体作为设计蓝本，如地球、月球及古地图地球。
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.
