Tuggen (; High Alemannic: Tugge) is a municipality in March District in the canton of Schwyz in Switzerland.

==History== According to Walafrid Strabo the Irish missionaries Columban and Gall arrived at Tuggen around the year 610. They intended to settle in the area, but fled after Gall had burnt down a local pagan holy place. Saint Gall is today depicted on the municipality's coat of arms.
