Persatuan Sepakbola Indonesia Bandung (lit.'Indonesian Football Association of Bandung'), also known in acronym as Persib (Indonesian pronunciation: [pərˈsɪp̚]), is an Indonesian professional football club based in Bandung, West Java. The club competes in the Liga 1, the top tier of Indonesian football. Founded in 1919 as Bandoeng Inlandsche Voetbal Bond (BIVB), it officially changed to its current name in 1933. The team is also known by its nicknames Pangeran Biru (Blue Prince) and Maung Bandung (Bandung Tigers). Their home stadium is Gelora Bandung Lautan Api, which has a capacity of 38,000.

The club has won two Liga 1 titles back to back, in 2023–24, and 2024–25. Before the current league format, Persib won the 2014 Indonesia Super League, 1994–95 Liga Indonesia Premier Division title, and five Perserikatan titles. All of Persib's top-flight league titles were achieved from a tournament format, except for the most recent in which they clinched their first full-season league format championship. Persib has also reached the quarter-finals of the Asian Club Championship in 1995.

The club's main rivalry with Persija Jakarta is referred to as the Indonesian derby, which is one of the most dangerous derbies in Indonesia football history.
