Nashville is the capital and largest city in the U.S state of Tennessee, with a metropolitan area of 2.2 million people. Nashville is home to 42 buildings (two of which remain under construction but are topped out) with a height of 300 feet (91 meters) or greater as of late 2026. Four of those towers are taller than 492 feet (150 m). The tallest building in the city (and the state) is 333 Commerce, formerly and still commonly known as the AT&T Building, which rises in downtown Nashville and was completed in 1994. However, a 750-foot (228.6 m) tower called Paramount will assume the title of the tallest building in Nashville and Tennessee upon its 2028 construction completion. Since the early 2010s, Nashville has been undergoing an unprecedented skyscraper boom, as 26 high-rises were built from 2009 to 2025.

High-rise buildings first appeared in Nashville with the construction of the 12-story First National Bank Building (now the Downtown Courtyard Hotel) in 1905. The city's skyline remained short until the completion of the modernist Life & Casualty Tower in 1957. At 409 ft (125 m), it was much taller than any other building in Nashville at the time. From the 1970s to the mid-1990s, the city added several office and hotel skyscrapers downtown. In 1994, 333 Commerce was completed. It is still commonly known today as the "Batman Building" due to its appearance.

The 2010s and 2020s saw a construction boom in downtown and Midtown, with notable high-rises including the second, third, and fourth tallest buildings in the city: Four Seasons Hotel and Residences, 505, and The Pinnacle at Nashville Yards respectively. Downtown's most significant development is Nashville Yards, a 19-acre mixed-use development consisting of several high-rises, including two developed by Amazon. Construction on Nashville's new tallest building began in 2025; it is expected to be completed in 2028, surpassing 333 Commerce as Nashville's tallest building at 750 ft (229 m).

Most of Nashville's high-rises are located in downtown, west and southwest of the Cumberland River that runs through the heart of the city. Before the 2010s, the core of the skyline was found north of Broadway and east of Rosa L Parks Boulevard in the central business district; since then, the skyline has expanded southwards and westwards, and many neighborhoods such as SoBro, Midtown, and The Gulch have been transformed. The rapid growth has also made way for new urban nodes, such as Nashville Yards in the CBD and the development of the East Bank. The Gulch specifically has seen the most growth, from being a neighborhood with many low-rise and underutilized buildings to becoming one of the most popular neighborhoods in Nashville with many high rises in the area. The skyline has also extended past Interstate 40 into Midtown, with projects like the proposed The Sinclair, West End Tower in Vanderbilt University and the two-tower Broadwest development reshaping Midtown. The neighborhood offers multiple buildings standing 200 to 300 feet tall, with the tallest being the hotel-condo Broadwest tower, at 404 feet tall.
