List of tallest buildings in Sydney

Citigroup Centre, the tallest ranked building in Sydney.

Although taller than Citigroup Centre, Sydney Tower is not a habitable structure and is not considered to be a building per a ruling by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat

This is a list of the tallest buildings in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It measures all structures to the highest architectural detail.

Sydney originally had a 46 m (151 ft) height limit that was enforced until 1957, and the height limit now stands at 235 m (771 ft).

Sydney Tower is the tallest structure in Sydney at 309 m (1,014 ft). However, according to the international standard of the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, observation towers are not fully habitable and do not count as buildings.
