a region and former duchy (from the 10th century to 1313 of southern Germany, now part of Baden-Wurttemberg and Bavaria.

Swabia (German: Schwaben) is one of the seven administrative regions of Bavaria, Germany, located in the south-west of Bavaria. It was formed out of that part of the historic region of Swabia which was annexed by Bavaria in 1803. It was once formally ruled by dukes of the Barbarossa line.

Swabia (German: Schwaben or Schwabenland) is both a historic and linguistic (see Swabian German) region in Germany. Swabia consists of much of the present-day state of Baden-Württemberg (specifically, historical Württemberg and the Hohenzollerische Lande), as well as the Bavarian administrative region of Swabia. In the Middle Ages, Baden, Vorarlberg, the modern principality of Liechtenstein, modern German-speaking Switzerland, and Alsace (nowadays belonging to France) were also considered to be a part of Swabia.
