Edsbyns IF, founded on 6 June 1909, is a sports club in Edsbyn in Ovanåker Municipality in Sweden. The bandy section of the club was founded as late as in 1925 and in 2000 the section was formally made a club of its own.
Edsbyns IF has played in the highest bandy league in Sweden from 1945–1969 and then again since 1971.
Edsbyns IF became Swedish bandy champions for men in 1952, 1953, 1962, 1978, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008.
They built the first indoor arena for bandy in Sweden and became champions the next season.
In March 2004 Edsbyns IF played a rink bandy exhibition match in Streatham Ice Arena, London, versus the Russian Super League team Vodnik, which ended 10-10.
