Snider–Enfield adalah senapan breech-loading. Jacob Snider menemukan aksi senjata api ini, dan Snider–Enfield adalah salah satu varietas Snider yang paling banyak digunakan. Tentara Inggris mengadopsinya pada tahun 1866 sebagai sistem konversi untuk Pattern 1853 Enfield muzzleloader yang ada di mana-mana, dan menggunakannya hingga tahun 1874 ketika senapan Martini–Henry mulai menggantikannya. British Indian Army menggunakan Snider–Enfield hingga akhir abad ke-19.
