A swallow's nest organ (French: orgue en nid d'hirondelle, German: Schwalbennestorgel) is a form of pipe organ which takes its name from its resemblance to the nests built by swallows. Rather than placed on a gallery or on the floor, the swallow's nest organ case sits on a platform suspended on a wall, with the wall as its sole support. In some churches it was wedged into the triforium (a shallow arched gallery built into a wall above the nave). In swallow's nest organs from the Renaissance period, the base of the suspended platform, called a tribuna, typically tapered into a point. There is generally only room in a swallow's nest for one person, the organist, who accesses it by a ladder or from a staircase concealed behind the wall.

| - Als Schwalbennestorgel bezeichnet man eine Orgel, die nicht auf waagerechtem Fußboden aufgebaut ist, sondern meist in großer Höhe an oder vor einer Innenwand montiert ist. Ältere Schwalbennestorgeln ruhen auf Konsolenkonstruktionen, die oft als kleine korbförmige Emporen ausgebildet sind. Moderne Orgeln werden auch an Stahlseilen aufgehängt. (de)
