Baykal-Energiya () is a bandy club from Irkutsk, Russia. The team is playing in the Russian Bandy Super League. It was founded in 1923, changing its name several times before becoming Lokomotiv Irkutsk in 1947. Lokomotiv played in the top division of the Soviet bandy championship since 1960. Since 1992 it changed its sponsorship and was renamed as Sibskana Irkutsk. In 2002 the club changed its name once again to Sibskana-Energiya Irkutsk, and finally got its current name in 2004.
In the last game of the regular 2016–17 Russian Bandy Super League season, Baykal-Energiya played against Vodnik Arkhangelsk. The loss would make Vodnik facing a weaker team in the playoffs, therefore the team started to score own goals. Baykal-Energiya joined, apparently for fun. Vodnik won 11-9, with all goals scored being own goals. The two teams faced sanctions from the Russian Bandy Federation. The federation banned coach Igor Gapanovich of Vodnik Arkhangelsk and coach Evgeny Erakhtin of Baykal-Energiya each for 30 months in March 2017, and fined each club 300,000 rubles. In the 2024–25 season, Baykal-Energiya was demoted to the Russian Bandy Supreme League.
