The 1955 Roller Hockey World Cup was the eleventh roller hockey world cup, organized by the Fédération Internationale de Patinage a Roulettes (now under the name of Fédération Internationale de Roller Sports). It was contested by 14 national teams (13 from Europe and 1 from South America) and it is also considered the 1955 European Roller Hockey Championship (despite the presence of Chile). Each group was played in a different Italian city, with the final-eight played in the city of Milan, in Italy (officially the host city).
