The Swiss Indoors is a professional men's tennis tournament played on indoor hard courts. Originally an event of the Grand Prix tennis circuit between 1970 and 1989. Since 2009 it has been part of the World Tour 500 Series of the ATP Tour. Before 2009, it was part of the ATP International Series which in 2009 became the ATP World Tour 250 series. It has been held annually at the St. Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland, in October, since 1995.

Roger Federer holds the record for most singles titles, having won the tournament seven times, in 2006–2008, 2010–2011 and 2014–2015. Federer has reached the final a record twelve times (2000–2001, 2006–2015), which is also an Open Era record for most finals reached at a single ATP event.

Three Swiss players have won the singles title: Michel Burgener, in 1972, Jakob Hlasek, in 1991, and Roger Federer, in 2006–2008, 2010–2011 and 2014–2015. The tournament was played on its unique red colored indoor courts until 2010; starting in 2011 the court color was changed to the uniform blue courts of most other tournaments in the European fall indoor season.

The tournament has been sponsored in the past by Ebel and Davidoff.

The Swiss Indoors winners from 1970 to 2016 have come from the following countries:
