Abstract. The first breeding attempt of the Alpine Swift (Tachymarptis melba) in Slovakia is documented and range and population trend in Europe discussed. Four specimens of the species had appeared during the breeding season 2021 in Michalovce town, SE Slovakia, and a nest with the Alpine Swift eggs was documented on an unaccomplished panel building at a height of 22 m. The Alpine Swifts left the breeding site individually between September 27 and October 18. This breeding may be related to the increase of European population of Alpine Swift..

Key words: Alpine Swift, breeding, Slovakia, Central Europe
