This page is about the tallest skyscrapers in the United Kingdom. For the tallest structures in general, see List of tallest structures in the United Kingdom.

The Shard is the tallest building in the UK.

As of January 2024, there are 155 habitable buildings (used for living and working in, as opposed to masts and religious use) in the United Kingdom at least 100 metres (330 ft) tall, 118 of them in London, 20 in Greater Manchester, six in Birmingham, three in Leeds, two each in Liverpool and Woking, and one each in Brighton and Hove, Portsmouth, Sheffield and Swansea (the only such structure outside England).

The Shard in Southwark, London, is currently the tallest completed building in the UK and was the tallest in the European Union until the UK's departure in January 2020; it was topped out at a height of 310 m (1,020 ft) in March 2012, inaugurated in July 2012 and opened to the public in February 2013.

The UK had not been noted historically for its abundance of skyscrapers, with the taller structures throughout the country tending to be cathedrals, church spires and industrial chimneys. In London for example, high-rise development was restricted at certain sites if it would obstruct protected views of St Paul's Cathedral and other historic buildings. This protective policy, known as 'St Paul's Heights', had been in operation by the City of London since 1937. Despite this, since the early 21st century, the number of high-rise buildings in London has grown significantly.

The UK's tallest office buildings are all located in the City of London and the capital's secondary business district of Canary Wharf. The five tallest are 22 Bishopsgate (278 m (912 ft)), One Canada Square (235 m (771 ft)), 110 Bishopsgate (230 m (750 ft)), 122 Leadenhall Street (225 m (738 ft)) and 8 Bishopsgate (204 m (669 ft)). The five tallest residential buildings in the UK are London's Landmark Pinnacle (233 m (764 ft)), Newfoundland Quay (220 m (720 ft)), Valiant Tower (215 m (705 ft)), One Park Drive (205 m (673 ft)), and Manchester's Deansgate Square South Tower (201 m (659 ft)).

London, Manchester and near neighbour Salford are the only UK cities with skyscrapers taller than 150 m (490 ft). Birmingham is set to join them with Octagon and One Eastside currently under construction and both expected to reach 155 m (509 ft). Other UK cities with notable tall buildings approved or under construction include Leeds, Liverpool, Sheffield, Brighton and Hove and Portsmouth, while several others including Cardiff, Glasgow and Milton Keynes are planning to construct tall buildings in the future.

As of May 2023, there are 45 habitable buildings at least 100 m (330 ft) tall under construction in the UK – 25 in London, 12 in Greater Manchester, seven in Birmingham, and one in Leeds.
