Rossall Hockey or Ross Hockey is a unique form of Hockey played only at Rossall School, in Fleetwood, on the Fylde coast, Lancashire, England. The game is unique to Rossall School and is played on a mile-long stretch on Rossall beach next to the school during the Lent term when the tides are suitable for using the beach.

The Rossall Stick is curved at the bottom, created from one piece of wood, used only by Rossall school and the Royal Navy for deck Hockey. In 1997 the game was nearly abandoned after over 130 years of history when the supplier of the sticks went bankrupt. Fortunately a replacement supplier was found in Eccles where they had made lacrosse sticks for many years. The new sticks are slightly less ornate than the traditional ones and also made of hickory rather than ash
