Snider–Enfield adalah senapan pengisian sungsang yang diciptakan oleh Jacob Snider. Angkatan Darat Britania Raya mengadopsi senapan ini pada tahun 1866 sebagai sistem konversi untuk Pattern 1853 Enfield yang ada di mana-mana, dan menggunakannya hingga tahun 1874 ketika senapan Martini-Henry mulai menggantikannya. Angkatan Darat India Britania menggunakan Snider-Enfield hingga akhir abad ke-19.

The Snider-Enfield even at 600 yards, which was the limit of the really effective range of the rifle for accurate shooting.
