{{quote|I tell you, [[Ishnail]] is miles better than that [[Don Pianta]] guy! By a long shot! Now, don't get me wrong! I've never met either one. So I'm just talking here...|Swindell|Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door}}
'''Swindell''' is a [[Bandit]] that lives in the east side of [[Rogueport]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. [[Goombella]] has heard he is a thief but he has never been seen stealing. He spends time whispering to [[Arfur]], a [[Doogan]], about something unknown. Swindell's name is a pun on "swindle," a verb meaning to obtain money or possessions through deception.

Swindell seems to be a supporter of [[Ishnail]] and does not like the actions of the [[Pianta syndicate]] led by [[Don Pianta]]. However, he admits that he has neither seen Ishnail, Don Pianta or the Don's successor, [[Frankie]]. At the end of the game, he decides that neither of them are as good as [[Mario]].

*"''That's Swindell, the bandit. At least, I HEAR he's a thief, but I've never seen him steal. He's always whispering to [[Arfur]] about something.''"
