太古堂為香港大學十三間住宿舍堂之一，於1980年11月11日成立，並以出資興建的太古集團命名。太古堂位處香港大學本部校園東端，坐落於太古樓內，毗鄰方樹泉文娛中心及香港大學美術博物館。
七十年代末期，適逢香港大學推行校園現代化工程，校方於般咸道撥出地段，騰空原有教職員宿舍，並於1978年建成連接主校園的天橋，正式展開學生綜合設施與宿舍大樓的興建工程。太古堂正是在這樣的背景下誕生，以回應大學社群日益轉變的需要，開展舍堂生活的新一章。
Swire Hall is one of the thirteen residential halls of the University of Hong Kong. It was officially established on 11 November 1980 and named in recognition of the Swire Group, which generously funded its construction. The Hall is located at the eastern end of the Main Campus, situated within the Swire Building, directly above the Fong Shu Chuen Amenities Centre and adjacent to the University Museum and Art Gallery.
In the late 1970s, as the University undertook a major campus redevelopment initiative, a site along Bonham Road was allocated for the creation of new student facilities. The area was cleared following the relocation of staff quarters, and a footbridge linking the site to the Main Campus was completed in 1978. It was under these circumstances that Swire Hall came into being, a purpose-built residence designed to meet the evolving needs of the University community and to open a new chapter in student residential life.
Adopted as the official Hall colour in January 1983, orange has come to symbolise the vibrant energy, commitment, and service ethos of the Swire Hall community. The Hall emblem, featuring the initials "S" and "H" from Swire Hall, embodies the values of solidarity and mutual care. These principles are anchored in our Hall Motto: Unity and Sincerity, which continues to guide and inspire generations of Swirians.
自1983年起，太古堂正式採用橙色為堂色，象徵堂友積極進取、勇於承擔、熱心服務的精神。堂徽以「Swire Hall」的英文字母「S」與「H」組成，體現團結與互助的價值理念，而這份核心精神正體現在堂訓「團結與真誠」之中，啟發一代又一代太古人。
