The Federation of Swiss Protestant Churches (Schweizerischer Evangelischer Kirchenbund, [Fédération des Eglises protestantes de Suisse] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help), [Federazione delle Chiese evangeliche della Svizzera] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help), [Federaziun da las baselgias evangelicas da la Svizra] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help) - SEK-FEPS) is a federation of 26 member churches — 24 cantonal churches and two free churches (Free Church of Geneva and the Evangelical-Methodist Church of Switzerland). The SEK-FEPS is not a church in a theological understanding, because every member is independent with their own theological and formal organisation. It serves as a legal umbrella before the federal government and represents the church in International relations. Except for the Evangelical-Methodist Church, which covers all of Switzerland, the member churches are restricted to a certain territory.

President of the Federation is Gottfried Locher.
