This list of the tallest buildings in Buffalo ranks skyscrapers in Buffalo, New York by height. The tallest building in Buffalo is currently the One HSBC Center, which stands 529 feet (161 m) tall.

Note: Buffalo City Tower was planned to start construction in late 2008 early 2009. It was to be the tallest building in Buffalo at a proposed 600 feet (182.1m). The project has been canceled due to the financial woes of the developer, BSC Group. The property it was supposed to be built on was sold to local entrepreneur/restaurateur Mark Croce in July 2008.
