Zuzwil is a municipality in the Bern-Mittelland administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland.

[3] The oldest trace of a settlement in the area are some ruined Roman era walls.

The village remained largely rural and agricultural until about 1965, when it began to become a commuter town for the nearby city of Bern.

By 2000, slightly over three-quarters of the working population commutes to Bern, Jegenstorf or other towns.

It forms the center of a school district that includes Iffwil and Ballmoos.

Of the rest of the land, 0.26 km2 (0.10 sq mi) or 7.5% is settled (buildings or roads), 0.01 km2 (2.5 acres) or 0.3% is either rivers or lakes.

In the federal election, a total of 279 votes were cast, and the voter turnout was 61.5%.

In the tertiary sector; 1 was in wholesale or retail sales or the repair of motor vehicles, 1 was in the information industry, 4 or 23.5% were technical professionals or scientists, 5 or 29.4% were in education.
