This list of tallest buildings in Markham, Ontario ranks buildings in the city by height. Markham is a city in the Greater Toronto Area, located north of Toronto. Its growth has led to emergence of low and high rise buildings to reduce urban sprawl. A number of residential high-rises reaching above 50 m (164 ft) have emerged in the 2010s, a trend that has intensified in the early 2020s. Most of the city's tall buildings are located in the area of Downtown Markham along Highway 7 from Warden Avenue to Kennedy Road and mainly residential structures.

As a mainly suburban area, Markham's buildings are mainly residential condos, hotels with a few office towers. Height restrictions were in place [1] near Buttonville Municipal Airport that have been eliminated with the closure of the airport. [2]
