It will show him winning the French Open tennis championship at Roland Garros. The picture was selected by the star and his family.
The post office plans to produce 400,000 of the stamps and to make an official presentation to Federer in Zurich in February.
It is not the first time Federer has been put on a stamp: Switzerland issued one in 2007 – the first Swiss personality to be paid this honour during his lifetime.
