List of tallest buildings in Canada

This is a list of the tallest buildings in Canada. As of December 2017 there are a total of 133 completed and under construction buildings in Canada with an official height of 150 m (492 ft) or more. Greater Toronto has 87 (Toronto 84 (including the eight tallest buildings in Canada), Mississauga has 3), Metro Vancouver has 24 (Burnaby 13, Vancouver 8, Surrey 1, Coquitlam 1, New Westminster 1) Calgary has 19, Montreal has 11, Edmonton has 2 (including the tallest outside Toronto), and Niagara Falls has 1.

Tallest extant buildings in Canada, all of which are found in Toronto (note: Trump Hotel is now known as The St. Regis Toronto)

Five of Canada's ten largest cities enforce height restriction laws. In Ottawa, skyscrapers could not be built above the height of the Peace Tower until the late 1970s, when the restriction was changed so that no building could overwhelm the skyline.[1] In Montreal, skyscrapers cannot be built above 200m of height nor the elevation of Mount Royal.[2] The City of Vancouver has enacted "view corridors" which limit the height of buildings in most areas of downtown.[3] The City of Edmonton had an elevation restriction, approximately 150 m (492 ft) above downtown, due to the proximity of the city centre airport, until it closed in November 2013.[4][5]

This list does not include towers, including the CN Tower in Toronto, as they are not technically considered to be buildings.
