Tallest buildings in Perth

This list ranks externally complete Perth buildings and free-standing structures that stand more than 25 metres (82 ft) tall, based on standard height measurement. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. An equals sign (=) following a rank indicates the same height between two or more buildings. The "Year" column indicates the year in which a building was completed. Buildings that have been demolished (including the towering chimney of Pullar's Dyeworks) are not included. Some prominent Perth buildings such as St Ninian's Cathedral are just below this threshold.
