The Pakistan national badminton team (Urdu: پاکستان کی قومی بیڈمنٹن ٹیم) represents Pakistan in international badminton team competitions.[1][2] It is controlled by the Pakistan Badminton Federation, the governing body for badminton in Pakistan. The national team was established in 1953.

Pakistan had only appeared in the international stage three times as they were eliminated in the group stage in the 1993, 1995 and 1997 edition of the Sudirman Cup.

The nation would make its first badminton debut in the Olympics when national player Mahoor Shahzad represented the country in the women's singles discipline.[3]

The team would later participate in the 2022 Commonwealth Games mixed team event through a bipartite invitation.
