EV Rosenheim was an ice hockey team in the Upper Bavarian town of Rosenheim, Germany.

The first ice hockey game in Rosenheim was played on January 1, 1928, with Munich II blanking the locals 12-0. Another game was played with EC Bad Tölz that year. On New Year's Day 1929, Bad Tölz and Rosenheim tied 2-2. Five days later, Tölz edged the locals 4-2. In 1937-38, the team played four games, winning three. They won three out of six games the following year. After World War II, the club returned to action in 1947-48.

With the construction of a new ice rink in 1961, the club received a permanent home ground, which allowed for regular training. Three years later, in 1963-64, EV Rosenheim earned promotion to the Oberliga, then the second level of German hockey.

The club finished second in the Oberliga in 1971-72, which earned them promotion to the top-level Eishockey-Bundesliga for the following season. However, after a last-place finish in the league, they were relegated. The club returned to the Bundesliga in 1975, and played there through 1978.

EV Rosenheim went bankrupt in 1978 and were replaced in the Bundesliga by SB/DJK Rosenheim.
