Swift 4  amp  Swift 5   You need to add target for that button   myButton addTarget self  action   selector connected sender     for   touchUpInside    And of course you need to set tag of that button since you are using it   myButton tag   indexPath row   You can achieve this by subclassing UITableViewCell  Use it in interface builder  drop a button on that cell  connect it via outlet and there you go   To get the tag in the connected function    objc func connected sender  UIButton       let buttonTag   sender tag

As Apple DOC     targetForAction withSender  Returns the target object that responds to   an action    You can t use that method to set target for UIButton  Try  addTarget   action forControlEvents   method

We can create a closure for the button and use that in cellForRowAtIndexPath  class ClosureSleeve     let closure     - gt        init attachTo  AnyObject  closure   escaping    - gt            self closure   closure     objc setAssociatedObject attachTo      arc4random       self  OBJC ASSOCIATION RETAIN      objc func invoke        closure         extension UIControl   func addAction for controlEvents  UIControlEvents    primaryActionTriggered  action   escaping    - gt          let sleeve   ClosureSleeve attachTo  self  closure  action   addTarget sleeve  action   selector ClosureSleeve invoke   for  controlEvents         And then in cellForRowAtIndexPath  func tableView tableView  UITableView  cellForRowAtIndexPath indexPath  NSIndexPath  - gt  UITableViewCell       let cell   youtableview dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier identifier  as  youCell     cell  selectionStyle   UITableViewCell SelectionStyle none  swift 4 style        button addAction            Do whatever you want to do when the button is tapped here         print  button pressed                return cell

The accepted answer using button tag as information carrier which button has actually been pressed is solid and widely accepted but rather limited since a tag can only hold Ints   You can make use of Swift s awesome closure-capabilities to have greater flexibility and cleaner code   I recommend this article  How to properly do buttons in table view cells using Swift closures by Jure Zove   Applied to your problem    Declare a variable that can hold a closure in your tableview cell like   var buttonTappedAction     UITableViewCell  - gt  Void    Add an action when the button is pressed that only executes the closure  You did it programmatically with cell yes targetForAction  connected   withSender  self  but I would prefer an  IBAction outlet  -    IBAction func buttonTap sender  AnyObject       tapAction  self     Now pass the content of func connected sender  UIButton           as a closure to cell tapAction     lt closure content here    gt    Please refer to the article for a more precise explanation and please don t forget to break reference cycles when capturing variables from the environment

The accepted answer is good and simple approach but have limitation of information it can hold with tag  As sometime more information needed   You can create a custom button and add properties as many as you like they will hold info you wanna pass   class CustomButton  UIButton       var orderNo   -1     var clientCreatedDate   Date timeIntervalSince1970  1      Make button of this type in Storyboard or programmatically    protocol OrderStatusDelegate  class       func orderStatusUpdated orderNo  Int  createdDate  Date     class OrdersCell  UITableViewCell        IBOutlet weak var btnBottom  CustomButton      weak var delegate  OrderStatusDelegate      While configuring the cell add values to these properties    func configureCell order  OrderRealm  index  Int         btnBottom orderNo   Int order orderNo       btnBottom clientCreatedDate   order clientCreatedDate      When tapped access those properties in button s action  within cell s subclass  that can be sent through delegate    IBAction func btnBumpTapped   sender  Any        if let button   sender as  CustomButton           let orderNo   button orderNo         let createdDate   button clientCreatedDate         delegate  orderStatusUpdated orderNo  orderNo  createdDate  createdDate
