Since making his debut in 2012, Sommer has gone on to make 94 appearances between the sticks for his country.
The 35-year-old Inter Milan goalkeeper played at six major international tournaments, including three FIFA World Cups.
His final tournament for Switzerland was at EURO 2024 which concluded with a quarterfinal defeat to England on penalties.
"After careful consideration, I have decided to end my career as a goalkeeper for the Swiss national team," Sommer posted on Instagram.
"With the conclusion of another great final round at the European Championship in our neighbouring country Germany, where I previously spent unforgettable years in the Bundesliga, the time has now come to say goodbye."
Pierluigi Tami, director of the Swiss national team, said: “On behalf of the Swiss Football Association, but also personally, I would like to thank Yann from the bottom of my heart for what he has done for us. Yann is not only an excellent goalkeeper, but also a role model for many athletes as a person, and his career is a prime example for young players.”
Sommer has also featured for FC Basel, Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayern Munich during his illustrious career.
