The value of the bottom quark mass at Q=MZ in the DR scheme is an important input for the analysis of supersymmetric models with a large value of tan\ensuremathβ. Conventionally, however, the running bottom quark mass extracted from experimental data is quoted in the MS scheme at the scale Q=mb. We describe a two loop procedure for the conversion of the bottom quark mass from the MS to DR scheme. The Particle Data Group value mb^MS(mb^MS)=4.2\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi0.2GeV corresponds to a range of 2.65--3.03 GeV for mb^DR(MZ).
