The Swiss Civil Code (SR/RS 210, Template:Langx; Template:Langx; Template:Langx; Template:Langx) is a portion of the second part (SR/RS 2) of the internal Swiss law ("Private law - Administration of civil justice - Enforcement") that regulates the codified law ruling in Switzerland and relationship between individuals. It was first adopted in 1907 (effective since 1 January 1912).<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
It was largely influenced by the German civil code, and partly influenced by the French civil code, but the majority of comparative law scholars (such as K. Zweigert and Rodolfo Sacco) argue that the Swiss code derives from a distinct paradigm of civil law.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>Template:Citation</ref>

In 1911, the Swiss Code of Obligations (SR 22)<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> was adopted and considered as the fifth part of the Swiss Civil Code.
