Melon balls are ball of melon made using a melon baller that varies from around 1.0 centimetre to 3.0 centimetres (about ¼ inch to 1 inch). They are generally used in fruit salad.

A melon ball is referenced in Freezepop's song "secret Bonus Song" (Song also known as "Sprite").

A melon baller is a small spoon-like tool used to cut round- or oval-shaped sections of melon, known as melon balls, by pressing them into the mellon's flesh and rotating. It can also be used to cut other soft fruit. The diameter of a melon baller's bowl varies from around 1.0 centimetre to 3.0 centimetres (about ¼ inch to 1 inch), and it is typically made of stainless steel with a handle of wood, metal, or hard plastic. Some varieties have the handle in the middle and a different-sized bowl on each end, and the bowl typically has a small hole in the middle to allow air and juice through.
