The Ticino League (Italian: Lega dei Ticinesi) is an isolationist, national conservative political party in Switzerland active in the canton of Ticino.

In 1991, after some public campaigning in the Sunday journal Mattino della Domenica against political power and use of public money, the editor Giuliano Bignasca and the director Flavio Maspoli founded the Ticino League to continue the fight at the political level. Bignasca (1945–2013) was the League's "president for life".

The League is one of four major parties in the canton, alongside

National Council and in the five-member cantonal Ticino executive
(the Council of State, Consiglio di Stato) with two seats. In the 90-seat Ticino legislature, (the Grand Council, Gran Consiglio) the party has 21 seats.

At the

executive body
of the nation.

In the

Federal Assembly, the League sits with the Swiss People's Party, and commentators see it as the Swiss Italian equivalent of the SVP.[6][7] A more notable political position of the League is its support for banning the Burqa, which it achieved in 2015.[6] It is also strongly eurosceptic, supporting Swiss sovereignty and reduced immigration.[8]

The League supports continued Ticino membership in Switzerland.
