Blue Ball Village is an unincorporated community in Cecil County, Maryland, United States.[1]

Andrew Job, a Quaker settler, operated the Blue Ball Inn starting in 1710 at a crossroads in the area. The former village of Blue Ball is no more, but Blue Ball Road retains the name.[2]

The settlement is located 7 mi (11 km) east of Rising Sun along Maryland Route 273.
