The Pacific swallow (Hirundo tahitica) is a small passerine bird in the swallow family. It breeds in tropical southern Asia and the islands of the south Pacific.

This bird is associated with coasts, but is increasingly spreading to forested uplands.[2] The hill swallow and the welcome swallow were formerly considered conspecific.
