 唐樓是中國華南、香港及澳門一帶於19世紀中後期至1960年代的建築物，其建築風格以中西混合著名。在公共房屋以前，幾乎所有港人都住在舊式「唐樓」。而最早期的唐樓於19世紀中後期開始在香港出現，當時的唐樓只有2至3層。

Tenement House also known as the "Guangzhou-style arcade" at that time, because of its Guangzhou design features. The arcade supported by the brick pillars, and across the footpath. Hong Kong's population growth dramatically after World War II and thus increase the housing demand. Hence, lot of people prefer Tenement House which have lower rental fees.

唐樓在當時俗稱為「廣州式騎樓」，這是因為其廣州設計特色，騎樓以磚砌支柱支撐，並跨出唐樓前的行人路。香港人口在第二次世界大戰後急增，人們對房屋需求增加，故不少唐樓都被用作分租。而著名的「包租公」或「包租婆」都會定期向各住戶「收租」。
