The Capra Grigia, French: Chèvre grise des montagnes, German: Graue Bergziege, is a rare and endangered Swiss breed of domestic goat. It originates in the valleys of the cantons of the Grisons or Graubünden in the eastern part of the country, and of Ticino or Tessin in the south. It is possibly related to the grey type of the Passeirer Gebirgsziege from the Autonomous Province of Bolzano in north-eastern Italy.
