List of tallest buildings in Yorkshire

Yorkshire has a range of tall buildings primarily located in its largest city, Leeds, which hosts the current tallest building, Altus House. Two further buildings over 100m are current under construction in Leeds. A smaller number of tall buildings are located in Sheffield, while Yorkshire's other main settlements are largely characterised by low-rise skylines such as York, which is dominated by one tall building, the Minster.

High-rise residential blocks are common in many towns and cities in Yorkshire, with many councils, particularly Leeds, Middlesbrough, Bradford and Hull enthusiastically embracing high-rise living in the 1960s and '70s. Sheffield has fewer high-rise residential blocks, with the council there looking more towards the more modern 'wall like' developments, though some newer high rise buildings are under construction.

Tallest Buildings

This list ranks externally complete buildings in Yorkshire that are at least 67 meters (220 ft). 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.
