The term town ball, or townball, describes the bat-and-ball, safe haven games played in North America in the 18th and 19th centuries, which were similar to rounders and were precursors to modern baseball.

The players might be schoolboys in a pasture with improvised balls and bats, or young men in organized clubs.
