The **1969 Bandy World Championship** was the sixth [Bandy World Championship](/source/Bandy_World_Championship) and was contested by three men's [bandy](/source/Bandy) playing nations. The championship was played in [Sweden](/source/Sweden) from 8 to 16 February 1969.

Originally the tournament was to be arranged in [Norway](/source/Norway), but the Norwegians declined to participate and arrange the championship so Sweden had to take over. Norway did not want to be part of a tournament where the Soviet Union played, due to the [Soviet and its allies invasion of Czechoslovakia](/source/Warsaw_Pact_invasion_of_Czechoslovakia) the previous year.

The Soviet Union won all four of its matches and became champions.[1]
