List of tallest buildings in George Town, Penang

Panoramic view of George Town's skyline in 2023

George Town, which encompasses the entirety of Penang Island and the surrounding islets, is the capital city of Penang and the core of the George Town Conurbation, Malaysia's second largest metropolitan area. Due to the shortage of land that is inherent in island cities, high-rise buildings have been springing up all over George Town. According to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH), George Town is home to at least 35 skyscrapers exceeding 150 m (492 ft) in height as of 2023 ^[update] , placing it as the second tallest city in Malaysia after Kuala Lumpur. ^[1]

Penang's first skyscraper remains the tallest within the state to this day. Completed in 1986, the Komtar Tower was originally 232 metres (761 ft) tall. It now houses the offices of the Penang state government, including that of the Chief Minister of Penang. Extensions on the roof of the skyscraper during refurbishments between 2016 and 2018 increased its height to 249 m (817 ft).

This is a list of the tallest buildings within George Town which are ranked according to the height and number of floors of each structure.
