This list of skyscrapers by floor area includes the largest skyscrapers in the world, measured in square meters (m2) and square feet (sq ft). To qualify as a skyscraper, a structure must be self-supporting, without relying on tension cables or external supports for stability, and must reach a minimum height of 150 meters (492 feet). Furthermore, at least 50% of its height must consist of habitable floor space. Structures such as communication and observation towers—like Tokyo Skytree, the CN Tower, or the Eiffel Tower—are categorized as non-building structures and are therefore excluded from this article (see list of tallest buildings and structures).
As of 2026, the largest skyscraper by floor area is Tower A1 of SAS iTower in Hyderabad, India. Standing at with 37 floors, it offers a total floor area of .
Largest skyscrapers in the world This list ranks the largest skyscrapers in the world by floor area. To be included in the list, buildings must meet the definition of a skyscraper outlined above and have a floor area of approximately or more. The "Year" column indicates the year in which a building was completed. Buildings that are still under construction but have been topped out, as well as unfinished ones, are included. Unfinished buildings are unranked.

Largest complexes This section lists the world's largest skyscraper complexes by floor area. A skyscraper complex may consist of multiple skyscrapers, as well as other buildings or facilities, that are either physically connected to each other or part of the same development project.
To qualify for these lists, skyscrapers must be constructed close to each other and be part of a single complex. Significant height differences between the buildings are allowed as long as they belong to the same project. Buildings may or may not be connected via a podium or skybridges. Non-skyscraper buildings or structures can be part of the complex, and their floor area may be included in the total calculation. Single-skyscraper complexes typically include a skyscraper integrated with a shopping mall or other facilities.
The lists below are categorized based on the number of skyscrapers within a complex.
One skyscraper This list includes complexes that feature only one skyscraper, providing an alternative measurement for some skyscrapers already listed in the Largest skyscrapers in the world section above. To be included, these complexes must have a total floor area of approximately or more.
