A Teleportation Sub-Trope which removes the possibility of Tele-Frag by making it impossible to be merged with an object.
The way the teleport works, is that two volumes are selected, and then the contents of those areas are swapped. Hence the name, Swap Teleportation.
It also avoids creating a vacuum when the teleportation happens in atmosphere, also avoiding any issues with The Air Not There.
This has been used a few times as a Switch-Out Move.
Supertrope to Ninja Log, often called a "substitution technique".

Afterlife SMP: Players with the Vampire origin are able to swap places with other entities. While it initially seems like a fun gimmick, but by combining that with another ability of the origin, the high jump, Scott sets a couple of his fellow players up to fall to their deaths.

Heralds of Valdemar: The massive waves of magical force that make up the Mage Storms have two centers, so the waves often intersect. At certain times and places (there's a pattern but it's never made entirely clear) these intersecting waves of force swap spherical areas - a sphere at one intersection for a sphere at another. It appears that the stronger the waves are, the larger the swapped spheres are, and the farther they travel. In at least one case, the swapped sphere were eight or ten feet across and traveled at least a thousand miles.

In Fine Structure, teleportation works by swapping two areas of space. The very first teleportation experiment results in Anne Poole being sealed in a coal seam. The consequences only get worse from there — later, four scientists are simultaneously killed. Finally, an entire building is teleported underground, and teleportation is excised from the fabric of the universe.

The main puzzle-mechanic of Obduction is the use of "swappers": devices that can switch spherical chunks of landscape, occupants and all, between one location and another. As your character is far from the first to have used this mechanic, the landscape of the four settings you can swap between is already a Patchwork Map of round bits from the other three, as well as swapped chunks of the settings' respective worlds of origin.

Power Rangers/Super Sentai'':
Denji Sentai Megaranger/Power Rangers in Space: Chameleon Nezire/Lizwizard can swap places with anyone by wrapping his Overly-Long Tongue is wrapped around them.
Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger:
One of Goma Rosalia's techniques allows him to swap locations with any person or object he chooses. This ability comes in handy for dodging attacks and putting his opponent in the path of danger at the same time. However, this leads to his doom in episode 39 when Hilbil plants a hypnotic suggestion in his mind that causes him to swap with her as she is about to be killed by the King-Ohgers.
In #46, Grodie attacks Dagded for preventing him from dying. Dagded teleports away and leaves Kamejim to take the hit for him in his place.

Captain Marvel:
For a time, Captain Mar-Vell was trapped in the Negative Zone, and could only leave when Rick Jones struck together a pair of "Nega-Bands" he wore on his wrists, causing the two to switch places.
Guardians of the Galaxy (2020) has a call-back to this, with the two Quasars swapping places when they put their Quantum Bands together. Whoever's swapped out is left floating in a dark void, leaving Wendell to mention he should've brought a book. It's also shown Noh-Varr can do similar, which is used to leave a Corrupt Corporate Executive in an exploding machine that belongs to him.

Stargate-verse: All based off Ancient technology:
Stargate SG-1: The Goa'uld ring devices, which turn out to be appropriated Ancient tech like most of their stuff. They appear to be a set of five miniature stargates that descend or ascend around the objects to be transported and they swap place with whatever's at the other end. They're ubiquitous in Goa'uld ships and bases, and are compatible with similar ring devices found in Ancient ruins (such as Avalon and Antarctica) and Ori ships as well.
Stargate Atlantis: The city of Atlantis (and, presumably, all the other Ancient mobile cities of the same design) has its own internal teleportation system which lacks any kind of special effect except a descending light through stained-glass doors (which seems to imply that they are merely a redesigned ring platform), that seems to function like this. If both platforms being used are occupied, anything on them simply swap places. Presumably, if a platform is empty, it works the same way, just unnoticeably.

In Sonic the Hedgehog 2, one of the items in the monitors in the 2-Player mode is a teleportation power-up. When hit, Sonic and Tails switch places. There's an option in the Options menu that lets you decide whether or not you want every monitor in this mode to have teleportation power-ups inside them.

Dungeons & Dragons:
3.5 Edition: The benign transposition spell swaps two nearby targets in the vicinity, who must be willing to be teleported, while the higher-level baleful transposition also affects unwilling targets. In exchange for those restrictions, they're available very early in the Class and Level System.
5th Edition: Wizards who specialize in Conjuration gain a short-range teleport ability that can optionally be used to swap places with a willing target.
1st Edition AD&D module I6 Ravenloft. In the area under Castle Ravenloft, there are a set of crypts holding undead monsters known as wights. Each time a Player Character passes through a teleport trap, they are transported into one of the crypts and a wight is teleported out of the crypt to take the Player Character's place. To anyone watching, it appears that the Player Character has turned into a wight.

Interesting Times: Teleportation is an experimental and very dangerous spell. Since the Disc, and everyone on it, is constantly revolving around its axis, teleportation needs to account for the spin or otherwise the target ends up splattered on a wall or spread across the countryside. Therefore, it requires that the subject be swapped with a counterweight of similar weight to balance out the momentum of the trip. Exploited when Rincewind gets teleported away from the Big Bad, leaving in his place a small cannon with a lit fuse... Rincewind has questions concerning whether this entirely solves the Tele-Frag problem:

Shotgun King: The Final Checkmate: Castle, a rare (and dangerous) white card, allows the White King to swap places with a Rook whenever he would take damage, with the Rook taking damage instead. If you're vertically/horizontally lined up with the King when that happens, and the Rook survives the attack, you will be checkmated on the spot, ending your run unless you have Black Mist to save you, but an update made it such that the Rook can no longer checkmate you instantly after a swap.

New Mutants: Lethal Legion: Escapade's power allows her to temporarily swap positions with another person - sometimes she can warp perceptions so that everyone else treats her as the person she's replaced, but the simplest version of this is purely a physical teleport switch. During the first issue's Batman Cold Open she uses this to rapidly swap positions with several U-Men, sometimes acquiring their armour and weapons when she swaps.

Island in the Sea of Time (Series): When the Event transports the island of Nantucket back in time, it includes the entire island, a couple of small nearby islands, and a substantial volume of surrounding ocean. An aerial survey right after the Event finds that the past-ocean and transported-ocean are different colors, allowing them to figure that the Event swapped out an elliptical area roughly 23 miles long and 5 miles wide. They never know how high or how deep underground/underwater it went.

Byakuren and Cochrane from Musuko ga Kawaikute Shikataganai Mazoku no Hahaoya are a pair of demon siblings with the power to warp themselves and anything they touch to the other's location. In a bit of Power Misidentification, they were initially assumed to simply have regular teleportation powers due to the fact that they were always swapping with the air, and the truth was only realized when Cochrane attempted to kill Drake with Weaponized Teleportation after Byakuren was given a Burial at Sea, resulting in a large dragon shaped mass of water being left in his place.

In Archon, the Exchange spell swaps the position of one of the player's units with one of the opponent's units. It can't be used to wrest control of Power Points from the opponent due to their inherent Anti-Magic properties, though.

Captain Mithrun from Delicious in Dungeon is an expert in weaponizing this form of teleportation. The first time we see him fight, he's able to turn a group of thugs into partial statues with just a touch, making it look like he's using a petrification spell until we see the victims sticking out of the walls and ceiling of the room and realise he's teleporting them into the stonework. Later chapters show he can use it in a much more gruesome way when he doesn't have to worry about keeping his opponent alive, that being to swap smaller objects with parts of their body in order to dismember them.

In Hunter × Hunter, this is the basis of Goreinu's abilities. He can summon two gorillas, a black one and a white one, both of whom can move about on their own. Goreinu can instantly switch locations with the black gorilla; he can cause someone else to switch locations with the white one.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: An ancient scepter sends April back in time to 1603 feudal Japan, with a Japanese prince named Kenshin taking her place in the present as he is holding the same scepter in his timeline. The Turtles use the scepter to travel back to Kenshin's time to rescue April, switching places with Lord Norinaga's Honor Guards. The scepter also causes those being swapped across time to switch clothes, which is very convenient for the Turtles as it provides them easy disguises.

Guardians of the Galaxy (2020) has a call-back to this, with the two Quasars swapping places when they put their Quantum Bands together. Whoever's swapped out is left floating in a dark void, leaving Wendell to mention he should've brought a book. It's also shown Noh-Varr can do similar, which is used to leave a Corrupt Corporate Executive in an exploding machine that belongs to him.

League of Legends: Urgot's original ultimate, Hyper-Kinetic Position Reverser, would let him do this with an enemy Champion after a brief channel time, also briefly slowing the target down, terrifying any other enemies near his arrival point, and reducing damage he receives. It was a very awkward ability that didn't synergise with the rest of his kit or his intended role, so when he was relaunched it was dropped completely.

Stargate Atlantis: The city of Atlantis (and, presumably, all the other Ancient mobile cities of the same design) has its own internal teleportation system which lacks any kind of special effect except a descending light through stained-glass doors (which seems to imply that they are merely a redesigned ring platform), that seems to function like this. If both platforms being used are occupied, anything on them simply swap places. Presumably, if a platform is empty, it works the same way, just unnoticeably.

Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger:
One of Goma Rosalia's techniques allows him to swap locations with any person or object he chooses. This ability comes in handy for dodging attacks and putting his opponent in the path of danger at the same time. However, this leads to his doom in episode 39 when Hilbil plants a hypnotic suggestion in his mind that causes him to swap with her as she is about to be killed by the King-Ohgers.
In #46, Grodie attacks Dagded for preventing him from dying. Dagded teleports away and leaves Kamejim to take the hit for him in his place.

The Witling: Doing this to both themselves and other objects and people is one of the main Psychic Powers of the Azhiri, referred to as "renging". They exchange the material to be teleported with an equal volume of matter from the destination. The distance and direction in which things can be renged is apparently unlimited, but in practice, it's limited by the relative velocity of the departure and destination locations due to the rotation of the planet. Additionally, an Azhiri can only reng themselves to locations that they have either been to or seen. Most Azhiri can't seng (another of their powers, basically farsight) over very long distances, but the extremely Talented Guildsmen can seng almost anything and anywhere, which means they can effectively teleport themselves wherever they want. The ability to kill at a distance, "kenging", is Weaponized Teleportation of this trope: The attacker scrambles an enemy's guts or brains by swapping two equivalent volumes of organs or brain matter within the body, killing instantly but leaving no outward injuries.

Into the Breach: Multiple:
The Flame Behemoths team's science mech is Swap Mech, a small, fast flying unit that starts with the ability to swap places with any other unit within range but no direct damage of its own. It's one of the most versatile positioning abilities in the game, whether extending the movement of allies or dropping enemy Vek into open water.
