List of tallest buildings in Vienna

Vienna is the capital and largest city of Austria, with two million inhabitants and a metropolitan area population of nearly three million. Vienna is home to most of the tallest buildings in Austria. The city has over 200 completed high-rises, including 26 buildings that stand taller than 100 metres (328 ft) as of 2026. Six skyscrapers have a height of over 150 metres (492 ft). The tallest skyscraper in Vienna is DC Tower I, a 58-story mixed-use building reaching a height of 220 m (722 ft). Vienna's skyline is one of the largest in the European Union. It has the third most buildings taller than 100 m and 150 m of any city in Central Europe, after Frankfurt and Warsaw.

High-rises in Vienna are spread out throughout the city, with the largest grouping of skyscrapers in Donau City, a neighborhood in the Donaustadt district directly north of the Danube. There are very few high-rises in the historic city centre, which is surrounded by the Ringstrasse. Some of Vienna's tallest buildings are standalone skyscrapers that are much taller than their surroundings, including Millennium Tower, Marina Tower, and Florido Tower. For centuries since its completion in 1578 until 1999, the tallest structure in Vienna had been St. Stephen's Cathedral, whose tower reaches up to 137 m (449 ft) tall.

While Vienna was one of the most populous cities in the world during the early 20th century, only one high-rise was built in the city before World War II, that being the 16-story in 1932. Vienna underwent reconstruction after the war. A notable early high-rise was the Ringturm, one of the few tall buildings found within the Ringstrasse. Built in 1955, Ringturm serves as the headquarters of Vienna Insurance Group. In the 1970s, construction began on the Alterlaa social housing complex, featuring high-rises with distinctive setbacks on their lower floors. The Vienna International Centre (VIC) completed in 1979, hosts the United Nations Office at Vienna and consists of six distinctive Y-shaped office towers. The tallest has a height of 127 m (417 ft) and was the city's tallest building until 1999.

Beginning in the 1990s, Vienna would see a significant increase in the scale of high-rise development, with a surge in the early 2020s. The Millennium Tower in the Brigittenau district was the first to exceed both 150 m (492 ft) and 200 m (656 ft) in height. During this time, the Donau City area began to be developed into a modern neighborhood. Donau City has grown to be the neighborhood with the tallest buildings in Austria. The centrepiece of the Donau City skyline, DC Tower I was completed in 2012. The DC Towers complex expanded with two more high-rises in the 2020s. In addition to Donau City, other high-rise districts such as Wienerberg City in Favoriten and TownTown in Landstraße have emerged.
