The Official Laws of Table Tennis refer to the table tennis racket, although it's also called a bat or a paddle by some people.
They also state that a table tennis racket may be of any size, shape or weight, but that the blade must be flat and rigid.
However you'll find that most rackets are actually all very similar in size - about 15cm (6 inches) across and 25cm (10 inches) long including the handle.
