The Swiss Typographers' Union (German:Schweizerischer Typographenbund, STB; French:Fédération Suisse des Typographes) was a trade union representing printers, based in Switzerland.

The union was founded in 1858 in Olten, becoming the first enduring trade union in Switzerland. It achieved early success by negotiating wage increases, leading many strikes, and in 1912 it achieved a closed shop agreement, in co-ordination with its Christian and liberal rivals. It was an early member of the Swiss Trade Union Federation, while in 1892, it led the formation of the International Typographers' Secretariat, thereafter hosting its headquarters.

By the end of World War I, the union had a national presence, although until 1926 it did not admit women or workers it considered to be less skilled. By 1954, the union had 10,560 members, and this rose to 15,466 by 1979. The following year, it merged with the Swiss Bookbinders' and Carton Makers' Union to form the Union of Printing and Paper.
