There are provided a golf ball in which the depths of dimples after grinding, which greatly affect the trajectory of golf ball, can be controlled readily and exactly, and a golf ball molding die for manufacturing the golf ball. The golf ball molding die in accordance with the present invention comprises two die bodies in which a cavity for molding a golf ball is formed by joining the die bodies to each other; and a protrusion formed on the cavity side surface of at least one of the die bodies, the protrusion having a uniform height from the surface or an imaginary spherical surface on which the protrusion is assumed to be absent toward the center of the cavity, wherein when a parting line is at latitude zero degree, the protrusion is arranged in the range of from latitude about 10 degrees to latitude about 80 degrees.
