Raffa, also known as raffa bocce or roundup, is a specialty, both male and female, of bocce. It is governed by Confederazione Boccistica Internazionale (CBI).

Along with pétanque and bocce volo, it is one of the three specialties proposed by the Confédération Mondiale des Sports de Boules (all of which are included in the World Games) as possible new disciplines for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
