Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, and the largest in California, with a metropolitan area population of over 12 million. Los Angeles has the largest skyline in California and the West Coast, with over 800 high-rise buildings. As of 2025, 30 of them are taller than 492 feet (150 m), placing Los Angeles fifth in the United States. Los Angeles has two supertall skyscrapers, buildings rising above 984 feet (300 m) in height: Wilshire Grand Center, the tallest building in the city and in California, and the U.S. Bank Tower. Upon its completion in 1989, the US Bank Tower, at 1,018 feet (310 m), remained the tallest building in the city until Wilshire Grand Center was built in 2017 to a height of 1,100 feet (335.3 m).

The history of skyscrapers in Los Angeles began with the 1903 completion of the 13-story Braly Building, which is often regarded as the first high-rise in the city. The Braly building has since been converted from a commercial structure to a residential tower and is now known as the "Continental Building". The growth of Los Angeles' skyline during the early 20th century was hampered by a height restriction imposed in 1904, prohibiting the construction of any building taller than 150 feet (46 m), effectively limiting the height of buildings to 13 stories. An exception was made for Los Angeles City Hall, built in 1928, which dominated the skyline for over three decades.
In 1957, the city government removed the 150-foot height limit, allowing taller buildings downtown. Los Angeles went through a large building boom that lasted from the early 1960s to the early 1990s, during which most of the city's tallest buildings were completed, including the U.S. Bank Tower, the Aon Center, and Two California Plaza. Skyscrapers built during this period tended to have flat roofs, a result of an ordinance imposed in 1958, to accommodate fire-fighting equipment. The flat-roof ordinance was rescinded in 2014. From the 1990s to 2000s, skyscraper development largely stalled. A second construction boom took place from the mid-2010s to the early 2020s with an increasing share of residential development, which saw the downtown skyline expand southwards.
The majority of skyscrapers taller than 500 ft (152 m) in Los Angeles are located in the northwest of downtown, bounded to the west by Route 110. The rest are mostly in Century City, the Westsides other business district. Between them is a linear skyline that runs east-west through Koreatown and Miracle Mile, surrounding Wilshire Boulevard. Wilshire Boulevard extends west of Century City to Westwood, where the skyline shifts to residential high-rises. There are numerous high-rise clusters outside Wilshire Boulevard, including Century Boulevard by Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the Hollywood district in central Los Angeles, as well as Warner Center, Encino and Universal City in the San Fernando Valley. More high-rise clusters are found throughout Greater Los Angeles, including in Glendale, Irvine, and Long Beach.
