This list ranks the tallest skyscrapers and high-rises in Myanmar by height. It includes habitable buildings that stand at least tall but excludes non-habitable structures above 90 m, such as the Yeywa Dam, the Laykyun Sekkya Buddha Statue, and the Shwemawdaw Pagoda. For other tall structures, see List of tallest structures in Myanmar.

As of 2025, Myanmar is the largest country in Southeast Asia and ASEAN to have no skyscrapers exceeding 150 meters in height as defined by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. Most of the tallest buildings are located in Yangon where zoning regulations restrict the maximum height of buildings to above sea level, to ensure that no structure overtakes the height of Shwedagon Pagoda. The tallest skyscraper in Myanmar is currently the Diamond Inya Palace in Yangon, which is tall.

The country's first ever attempt to construct a skyscraper taller than 150 meters was the proposed 555 Merchant Street, a building planned for downtown Yangon. The project faced intense opposition by local conservationists and was cancelled in 2014. There were also plans for a , 108-story skyscraper called Time 108 City, which would have been the second-tallest building in Southeast Asia and ASEAN after the 679-meter Merdeka 118 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It is currently unknown whether this project has been cancelled.

Tallest buildings The following list ranks completed skyscrapers and high-rises in Myanmar that stand at least based on the estimates by Emporis, unless otherwise stated. Because of the Emporis estimates, the list may not be fully accurate—in terms of inclusion and rankings. (Emporis estimates the height of buildings based on the number of floors; as a result, buildings with the same number of floors—regardless of the type (office or residential)—are estimated at the same height.See Emporis's estimates for Yangon buildings here: .) Height estimates are denoted in italics.
