İsviçreliler (Almanca: die Schweizer, Fransızca: les Suisses, İtalyanca: gli Svizzeri, Romanşça: ils Svizzers), İsviçre'nin vatandaşları veya yerlilerine verilen addır.[2]

Günümüzdeki İsviçre devletini oluşturan İsviçre Federasyonu kimlik milliyetçiliği dönemi olan 1848'de kurulmuş olsa da ülke bir ulus devlet değildir. İsviçreliler genellikle tek bir etnik grup olarak kabul edilmezler, bunun yerine bir konfederasyon veya Willensnation ("iradeyle oluşan ulus") olarak adlandırılırlar.

İsviçreliler etnik olarak dört gruba bölünürler. Bunlar Almanca konuşanlar, İtalyanca konuşanlar, Fransızca konuşanlar ve Romanşlardır. Bölgede yaşayanların kültürel tarihlerinde Alpler önemli bir yer tutar ve Alp Dağları İsviçre ulusal kimliğinin oluşmasında önemli bir faktördür.[3]

"Some landscapes were highlighted because they were considered essential in the building of the nation and the shaping of its culture. This was most obvious in Switzerland where the Swiss character was forged by the daily confrontation with the difficult mountainous environment of the Alps. Lunn (1963) suggests that the wonderful scenery gave those who inhabited it an opportunity to develop a sense of dignity and grandeur."
