The Paraguay national badminton team (Spanish: Selección nacional de bádminton de Paraguay; Guarani: Aty tetãygua badminton Paraguái) represents Paraguay in international badminton team competitions.[1] The national team is controlled and organized by the Paraguay Badminton Federation.

Badminton in Paraguay began to be practiced in 2012 following the formation of the national team and the establishment of the Paraguay Badminton Federation. At the time, the sport was widely played by the Chinese community in Ciudad del Este and in Chinese colleges in Asunción.[2]

The team made their international debut in 2015, when they competed in the 2015 South American Badminton Championships mixed team event. The team made their first appearance at the Pan American Men's Team Championships in 2024.
