Elisabeth Schneider-Schneiter (born 19 February 1964 Basel) is a Swiss jurist and politician of The Centre (formerly known as the Christian Democratic People's Party).

Political career

She has been a member of the parliament of the Canton Basel-Landschaft since 1999, over which she also presided in the term between 2006 and 2007. In November 2010, she replaced the resigning Kathrin Amacker in the National Council. She was also a member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE).

At the party conference of the CVP Baselland in October 2018, Schneider-Schneiter was nominated as a candidate for the successor of Doris Leuthard in the Federal Council. She would have been the first Federal Councillor from the Basel Landschaft in 123 years. However, the CVP later decided to present a two-person ticket with the National Councilor Viola Amherd of Canton Valais and the councilor of Uri Heidi Z’graggen for the Federal Council election. Eventually, Viola Amherd was elected into the Federal Council. In the Swiss parliamentary elections in 2019, Schneider-Schneiter was re-elected to the National Council rather comfortably as the CVP entered the elections within a political alliance with the Green Liberal Party (GLP) and the Evangelical People's Party (EVP).
