This list ranks buildings in the U.S. city of Syracuse, New York, by height.
Since its construction in 1927, the State Tower Building has been the tallest building in Syracuse. Bricks on the facade of the State Tower Building gradually get lighter towards the top of the Art Deco building; this was intended to make the building seem higher than it actually is. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributing property in the Hanover Square Historic District. It was renovated in 2003 and 2016.
St. Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, one of the top 10, was constructed in the 1800s. Eight tall buildings were constructed in the 1970s, and apparently demand for office space has not required new buildings since.
