This list of tallest buildings in Amsterdam ranks skyscrapers and high-rise buildings in Amsterdam, the Netherlands by height. Amsterdam is the capital and largest city proper in the Netherlands, with a population of 933,680 in 2024 [2] and 1.4 million in its urban area. Historically, there were few tall buildings in Amsterdam, especially relative to the city of Rotterdam nearby. Height restrictions limit the construction of tall buildings in the city centre.

Since the 2000s, an increasing number of high-rises have been built in Amsterdam, a trend that has accelerated since the early 2020s. This has been attributed to the city's housing shortage and high land prices. [3] [4] This has resulted in the formation several clusters of tall buildings outside of the city centre, most notably the Zuidas business district, in addition to other clusters of high-rises in Overhoeks directly north of the city centre, Teleport, and around Noord metro station.

As of 2025, there are 12 completed buildings that reach a height of 100 m (328 ft). A further four are under construction. Since 1995, the tallest building in Amsterdam has been the Rembrandt Tower, an office skyscraper in the Amstelkwartier neighbourhood.
