List of tallest structures in the Philippines

The Philippines has a number of tall buildings and structures, completed, planned or under construction.

Tallest completed buildings

This list ranks the highest completed skyscrapers and buildings in the Philippines as of July 2022. Buildings and skyscrapers included here stand at least 150 metres (492 ft) tall, based on standard height measurement according to Emporis and CTBUH (unless otherwise stated, the two sources agree on the height of a building). This has been shortened because there is a very high number of highrise buildings between 100 metres (328 ft) and 150 metres (492 ft) within the country. (See also the more updated List of tallest buildings in Metro Manila.)

Existing partially habitable structures are included for comparison purposes; however, they are not ranked.
