Blast Lacrosse is an indoor lacrosse video game released in May 2001 for Sony's PlayStation. It is officially licensed by and based on the National Lacrosse League and includes all nine teams of their 14th season, including mascots. It is also licensed by the Professional Lacrosse Players' Association. The cover features an Ottawa Rebel player wearing #88.

The style of play is very similar to the arcade style of NBA Jam and NFL Blitz where, if a player scores a hat trick they become "on fire" and play better until stopped.

As of November 2006, it is the only lacrosse video game ever made (if you exclude the mobile game Brine Lacrosse), but a new NLL game is under development by Activision.
