The Swabian League of Cities (German: Schwäbischer Städtebund) was a political and military alliance formed in 1376, initially of 14 Swabian imperial cities under the leadership of Ulm that lasted until 1389. Through alliances with the Rhenish League of Cities and Swiss imperial cities and the admission of other Swabian and Franconian imperial cities, the league grew to 40 members. The purpose of the alliance was primarily to secure imperial city rights.
