Schwende is a district in the canton of Appenzell Innerrhoden in Switzerland. It has a population of 1,900 (2000, estimate). The area of Appenzell is 57.50 km².

A silver castle stands on three green mountains. The three mountains are horizontally traversed by a silver waived beam. The background is blue. The coat of arms refers back to the Schwende Castle located in this village, but destroyed at the beginning of Appenzell's liberation wars.

In the 12th century the name was recorded as Swendi or swandjan. This is a derivate of the German expression schwinden machen (wood clearing).
