La pitón real (Python regius) es una serpiente de la familia de los pitónidos, propia de África tropical. También se la conoce como "pitón bola", a consecuencia de su timidez, suele enrollarse sobre sí misma metiendo la cabeza en el centro haciéndose una bola. Esta pitón suele ser muy tranquila por lo cual muchas personas las tienen como mascotas. Actualmente no tiene subespecies reconocidas.
