Schwansen (Dansk: Svans ellerr Svansø, i betydning sø "Svanesøen")er en halvø i Schleswig-Holstein, Tyskland indtil 1864 Hertugdømme under Danmark - beliggende ud til Østersøen. Placeret imellem Eckernförde Bugten i syd og Schlien i nord.

The Danish dialect South Jutlandic was still spoken in Schwansen around 1780 (the last time in the villages near the Schlei). Denmark lost Schwansen during the Second Schleswig War in 1864.

Schwansen is the name of the former Amt ("collective municipality") Schwansen, which covered most of the peninsula. The seat of the Amt was in Damp.
