This list of tallest buildings in Worcester, Massachusetts ranks skyscrapers in the U.S. city of Worcester, Massachusetts by height. Worcester currently has 18 high-rise buildings.[1] In the city, there are 15 buildings that stand taller than 115 feet (35 m). The two tallest structures in Worcester are the 24-story Sky Mark Tower and Worcester Plaza, both of which rise 289 feet (88 m).[1]

Like Washington, DC, there is a height restriction on high rises in the city due to the flight path to Worcester Regional Airport crossing right over the heart of the city.
