The Switzerland men's national artistic gymnastics team represents Switzerland in World Gymnastics international competitions.

History The first Swiss gymnastics society was founded in 1832, and they became the first country to establish a national gymnastics federation. At the very first Olympic Games, Swiss gymnast Louis Zutter won gold on pommel horse. The Swiss men's gymnastics team won the gold medal in the team event at the 1928 Summer Olympics.

Despite forming the first national gymnastics federation, Switzerland did not compete at a World Championships until 1934, where they won gold as a team.

Switzerland has boycotted two Olympic Games. The first in 1956, which they boycotted due to the Soviet Union invading Hungary to stop the Hungarian Revolution against the Communist regime, and the second in 1980, in which Switzerland competed under the Olympic Flag but did not send a gymnastics team.
