Vetterli rifle is a system designed by a Swiss riflemaker Johann-Friedrich Vetterli. Vetterli rifles served in Swiss army from 1869 to 1890 (M1869/70, M1871, M1878, M1881 versions, both rifles and carbines). Italian army also adopted this rifle as M1870 (single-shot version, in 10,35x47mm R) and later put on service a modified version Vetterli-Vitali equipped with a four-round box magazine (M1870/87 in 10,35x47mm R and M1870/87/15, converted to 6.5x52mm). During World War I a party of Vetterli-Vitali rifles were purchased by Russia. The Vetterli Rifle was gradually replaced by the Schmidt-Rubin Rifle as the standard service rifle for the Swiss Army in the 1890s.

Vetterli rifles can be identified by the unique shape of its trigger guard.
