This is a list of tallest buildings in Hamburg. As in most German cities except Frankfurt, skyscrapers or high-rises in Hamburg are rarely approved or built.
The few high-rises in Hamburg are mostly clustered at St. Georg's Berliner Tor Center, St. Pauli's Hafenkrone, and most likely in future also at HafenCity's Elbbrücken.

A skyscraper is a tall continuously habitable building having multiple floors. Modern sources define skyscrapers as being at least 100 meters (330 ft) or 150 meters (490 ft) in height, though there is no universally accepted definition, other than being very tall high-rise buildings. Historically, the term first referred to buildings with between 10 and 20 stories when these types of buildings began to be constructed in the 1880s. Skyscrapers may host offices, hotels, residential spaces, and retail spaces.
Atlantic-Haus is an 88 m high-rise office building in the St. Pauli district of Hamburg. Designed by Munich-based architect Thomas Herzog and completed in 2007, the Atlantic-Haus is part of a cluster of high-rises at Hamburg's Hafenkrone, an area between the St. Pauli Piers and St. Pauli's Reeperbahn district.
Elbbrücken station is a public transit terminal station in Hamburg, Germany, near the rail and road bridges called Elbbrücken leading over the Norderelbe. It consists of two elevated platforms, one for the Hamburg U-Bahn which opened in 2018, and one for the Hamburg S-Bahn suburban trains which opened a year later. Each platform has two tracks, interlinked by a "skywalk". The station is the terminus of the U4 U-Bahn line and is between Hammerbrook and Veddel on the S3/S5 S-Bahn lines. It was built to provide easier access to the new HafenCity quarter of Hamburg from the south.
